A short history of nearly everything

Bill Bryson, 2003, 2004 - Black Swan edition

The joy of science condensed into a book. Powerful and accessible for those curious about the subject but not too knowledgeable. Almost philosophical in how it absorbs and changes the way you look at the world around you.

'Behaviourally modern humans have been around for no more than about 0.0001 per cent of earth's history - almost nothing, really'.
