A Short History of Nearly Everything

The book had been recommended by one of my very senior colleagues and it proved to be a most worthwhile and enjoyable item. Nowhere ever had I found a more enjoyable narrative of the history of earth and its evolution. With a lucid flow of language some of the most defining discoveries of the world as we know have been described. The events that prompted a finding, the snubbings received by a few, the interpretations of some that may well have been otherwise explained and some actions that obliterated the last of the evidences, these are but a few of the facts penned in minutest detail in this wonderful anecdote of the history of the planet earth. Funny yet serious the book will humour thoughtful readers.
