A Short History of Nearly Everything

Who I don't know much about and I started reading about as obviously I was reading Nelson's Bits and then I stopped reading about because otherwise that was all I was going to do.

Have you got a copy of Bill Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything? No.

I must do.

His chapter, section, whatever it is, on William Buckland, I seem to remember being really good.

Awesome.

So if you want that without the danger of falling down a wiki rabbit hole.

Oh, yeah, because picking up Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything.

You're absolutely right.

Yeah, you did very well.

I think I read The Sunset Thing in Bill Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything, which is a great science book for non-science folks.

That's a recommendation from like 20 years ago.

Always
