Sinossi
Viviamo in un pianeta di cui si sa poco o addirittura quasi nulla. Quanto è grande? Quali leggi ne governano il moto, la natura, i fenomeni? È per questo che Bryson si è convinto che, prima di lasciarlo, sia giusto provare a conoscerlo un po' meglio, usare la propria intelligenza e curiosità per scoprirne le regole e i segreti. E allora parte per un viaggio molto diverso da quelli che ha raccontato negli ultimi anni, un viaggio che lo conduce nel mondo delle scoperte e delle conoscenze scientifiche, narrando la storia dell'universo come se fosse un romanzo, facendo comprendere, senza difficoltà inutili, la teoria della relatività, i segreti chimici del big bang, le leggi dell'evoluzionismo, con una prosa ironica e divertente.

Good grief if I had even one textbook half this enthralling in high school, who knows what kind of impassioned -ologist I would have grown up to be. I hereby petition Bryson to re-write all curriculum on behalf of the history of the world. I would run across things half-remembered from midterms and s Leggi tutto
Okay, so here's my Bill Bryson story. I was in The Gladstone, a public house not too far from this very keyboard, with my friend Yvonne, who will remain nameless. We had been imbibing more than freely. A guy approached our table and asked me in a sly surreptitious manner if I was him. Him who? Was I Leggi tutto
What I learned from this book (in no particular order) 1. Phosphor was accidentally discovered when a scientist tried to turn human urine into gold. The similarity in color seemed to have been a factor in his conviction that this was possible. Like, duh. I’m no scientist, but shouldn’t it be obvious Leggi tutto
يحكى أن يهوديا قرر الذهاب إلى دمياط للتجارة و حينما وصل إليها أراد اختبار أهلها قبل أن يبدأ مشروعه فأشار للصبى الذى أستأجره ليكون دليلا لهخذ هذا القرش فاشتر لنا غداء و شراب و حلوى و لا تنسى طعام للحمار و شيئا أتسلى به فى طريقىكان القرش لا يشترى بالكاد وجبة طعام لشخص واحد الا ان الشاب الدمياطى - و ال Leggi tutto
It's easy to nitpick A Short History of Nearly Everything . Bryson, by his own cheerful admission anything but a scientist, makes a fair number of mistakes. He says that all living creatures contain hox genes; he omits Alexander Friedmann and George Gamow from his description of how the Big Bang theo Leggi tutto
