Review of A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bryson, Bill

I'll keep this short because Bill didn't. Read it. I knew a lot of what he says in this book (not tooting my horn here) but he adds so much background that it becomes compelling to read/research more. A very interesting, often humourous and sometimes shocking but ultimately very rewarding book. Des Moines' loss is Britain's gain. Welcome to Blighty Mr. B.
