Review redux

--The title of Bill Bryson's "A
Short History of Nearly Everything" does not sell itself short. It
is exactly that.

Don't be intimidated by either the scope or the size of the book. It is
engaging, entertaining, informative and an all round good read. As a
word of advice, don't say "ooh ooh, listen to this part..." to your
family. Taken out of context many of the tidbits are a tad arcane. The
part about the inventor of the Geiger Counter being a hard core Nazi was
a bit of a surprise...
