A brief story in almost everything in the world. Bryson B.

This book is one of the main popular science bestsellers in recent years. A large explosion and subatum particles, primitive oceans and ancient continents fit in it, giant lizards roam under its cover and primitive hunters are tracking their prey. But this is a book not only about the distant past: it is accessible and exciting in it tells about the front edge of science, about the incredible discoveries that scientists make, about the global threats and the future of our civilization.
