Fantastic! I have been wanting to read this ever since it was released. No doubt some of my other friends will too, but I will try to keep track of it so that I can return it to Pixette eventually. Thank you!

Journal Entry 5 by Fleebo on Monday, July 10, 2006
Bill Bryson makes a considerable departure from his travel books in this one. I'm familiar with most of the ideas here (I've read Hawkings' A Brief History Of Time, and Attenborough's Life On Earth) but here is a description of the evolution of the concepts, as well as of the things themselves - how we know what (we think) we now know. Lots of anecdotes about the brilliant scientists (weird and antisocial people, mostly) and their thinking (the consequence of their weirdness and antisocial behaviour, one imagines) and their fights, of which there have been a lot more than you might expect.
As always, the writing is light and accessible, but don't go in expecting a lot of laugh-out-loud moments.

It was given to me by a friend. I haven't finished it but it's a great read
