THE #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER, UPDATED FOR 2025 - A wonder-filled quest to understand everything that has happened in the history of the Earth, from the Big Bang theory to the rise of civilization and beyond--revised to reflect the last two decades of scientific advancement

"Brims with strange and amazing facts . . . destined to become a modern classic of science writing."--The New York Times

How did we get from being nothing at all to where we are today? How did the age of the dinosaurs eventually give way to the age of the iPhone? In this completely revised update to the international phenomenon A Short History of Nearly Everything, Bill Bryson returns to answer these questions and many more.

Bryson brings a groundbreaking account of life itself to a new generation of readers, as he takes subjects often passed off as boring and incomprehensible and renders them accessible, fascinating, and outright amusing to anyone who's ever wondered about the world around them. Introducing readers to a diverse cast of the world's most impressive archaeologists, paleontologists, physicists, astronomers, anthropologists, and mathematicians--from their offices and laboratories to dig sites and field camps--Bryson embarks on a journey to discover answers to the biggest questions about the universe and ourselves.

A Short History of Nearly Everything is a profoundly enlightening, surprisingly humorous, and charmingly clever adventure into the realm of human knowledge, as only Bryson can render it. His revamped Short History is a thrilling journey through time and space, and his writing will make readers both new and old see the world in a whole new way.
