He has a way of telling - Bill Bryson, and explain everything-which is very endearing. Many very interesting information about our origins and those of our universe, all explained with everyday language for everyone. Only small criticism to do ... Following chapters still is not logical ... but given the scale of research and facts cited and explained ... it's no big deal! Read for all the curious of the earth ... a book that reponds us to many of our core issues, but at the same time drives us to ask yet more.
