Deal Details
Various Digital Retailers have A Short History of Nearly Everything (eBook) by Bill Bryson on sale for $2.99.

Thanks to Deal Editor Discombobulated for finding this deal.

Available from:About this title:
  • Print Length: 560 pages
  • Taking as territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us. To that end, he has attached himself to a host of the world's most advanced (and often obsessed) archaeologists, anthropologists, and mathematicians, travelling to their offices, laboratories, and field camps. He has read (or tried to read) their books, pestered them with questions, apprenticed himself to their powerful minds. A Short History of Nearly Everything is the record of this quest, and it is a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it. Science has never been more involving or entertaining.

This is my go-to book to being on vacation and finish half way only to restart it at the beach on the next vacation. I think I've done that about 7xs with this book because it's so great!
