![]() ![]() This is a great book if you want to see how the various scientific disciplines interact and want a high-level overview featuring all the big historical figures throughout science. The book he has written justifies his view, and makes the word of science seem like an interesting, bright and often mind-blowing world of its own, that we can understand. The book also confirmed which subjects I'm most excited about in science (physics and chemistry) and which I'm less excited about, simply by the level of attention and excitement I had for the various chapters. ![]() My biggest takeaway was that there is still so much we don't know or understand about how our world works and how we got here today. I liked how the book set out a lot of difficult questions that the author pondered initially and which inspired his search for answers. The true subject of the book was the history of science and our understanding of the world from a scientific standpoint: the Big Bang, physics, chemistry, genetics, biology, and geology. I enjoyed the book, but It definitely wasn't short and it definitely didn't cover nearly everything. I just finished reading A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. ![]()
