Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Puffin.

Adapted from A Short History of Nearly Everything, this stunning book from the extraordinary Bill Bryson takes us from the big bang to the dawn of science and everything in between.

Perfect for ages eight and up.

Ever wondered how we got from nothing to something?

Or thought about how we can weigh the earth?

Or wanted to reach the edge of the universe?

Uncover the mysteries of time, space and life on earth in this extraordinary book - a journey from the centre of the planet to the dawn of the dinosaurs and everything in between.

And discover our own incredible journey, from single cell to civilisation, including the brilliant (and sometimes very bizarre) scientists who helped us find out the how and why.

One of the best books I’ve ever read

I loved the way that the book is pretty detailed but there was so many subjects that are written in the very short history of nearly everything. Recommend this book to anyone
