And the best part is, it’s all done through a thick lense of history. It tells you a little bit about everything – and it really feels like it’s everything! Starting off with the universe and planets, we go through physics, chemistry, geology, biology, paleontology and archaeology. So when I got an email saying this book was on offer I grabbed it as fast as I could! I already have a couple of other ones on my list, including one called ‘The Body’ which I’m excited to get started on. This kind of book is perfect for that kind of listening – it’s never boring, at the same time if I have to concentrate for a minute or two and stop paying attention, it usually doesn’t matter much. I use Audible as my source for audiobooks, which I listen to a lot when I’m working or driving around for work – when I don’t have podcast I’m hooked on. In fact, it’s been years since I read much non-fiction at all – probably since I graduated! I started out reading Bryson’s ‘A Walk Through The Woods’ sometime last year and I loved it, so I’ve been keeping my eye out for more of his titles every since. I went into this on a few colleague’s recommendation, never having heard about Bill Bryson before.
An engaging, funny, and comprehensive guide to almost everything you need to know about the world.
