Book Description
o constatar que ignorava o porquê dos oceanos serem salgados, o renomado escritor e cronista Bill Bryson percebeu, com certo desagrado, que tinha pouquíssimo conhecimento sobre o planeta em que vivia. A indagação o propeliu à tarefa épica de entender - e explicar - tudo o que sabemos sobre o mundo.
Bryson parte da origem do universo e segue até os dias de hoje, tratando de assuntos relacionados à física, geologia, paleontologia e todas as outras disciplinas que considerava "maçantes" na escola. Antítese do texto didático tradicional, sua prosa foge dos jargões técnicos sem nunca abrir mão da profundidade. A preocupação do autor está em entender como os cientistas realizam suas descobertas. Para compilar esta Breve história de quase tudo, Bryson consultou dezenas de obras e pesquisadores e montou o que pode ser considerado um delicioso guia de viagens pela ciência.
Bill Bryson
William McGuire Bryson ( born 8 December 1951) is an American–British author of nonfiction books on topics including travel, the English language, and science. Born in the United States, he has been a resident of Britain for most of his adult life, returning to the U.S. between 1995 and 2003, and holds dual American and British citizenship. He served as the chancellor of Durham University from 2005 to 2011.
Bryson came to prominence in the United Kingdom with the publication and accompanying television series of Notes from a Small Island (1995), an exploration of Britain. He received widespread recognition again with the publication of A Short History of Nearly Everything (2003), a book widely acclaimed for its accessible communication of science. In October 2020 he announced that he had "retired" from writing books.
