A Short History of Nearly Everything
As the title suggests, bestselling author Bryson sets out to put his irrepressible stamp on all things under the sun.

"In particular how we went from there being nothing at all to there being something, and then how a little of that something turned into us, and also what happened in between and since."

Certitude: A Profusely Illustrated Guide to Blockheads and Bullheads, Past and Present
Sometimes all we have is the courage of our convictions. But not all convictions are created equal. In fact, some are downright delusional. And once a foolish notion sinks its teeth into the famous or the powerful, look out–the impact can have profound consequences for the rest of us. So it’s nothing short of gratifying when our most bullheaded and self-righteous leading lights insist on getting their way only to be proven egregiously embarrassingly wrong.
