A review by lilleyjohn
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

4.0

Well worth the read. Most enlightening was how mankind blithely goes about its business seemingly oblivious to being an asteroid/volcano/bacteria bloom away from total annihilation. I was also struck by how many pastors, priests and rectors contributed to pivotal moments in science. Historically and today. Ssssh - don't tell Richard Dawkins, it would mess up his whole schtick: You know, all religious people are light years away from science.
