************************************************************************ Reviews for A Short
History of Nearly Everything: 'It's the sort of book I would have devoured as a teenager. It
might well turn unsuspecting young readers into scientists.' Evening Standard 'I doubt that a
better book for the layman about the findings of modern science has been written' Sunday
Telegraph 'A thoroughly enjoyable as well as educational experience. Nobody who reads it
will ever look at the world around them in the same way again' Daily Express 'The very book
I have been looking for most of my life' Daily Mail
