Just as the title suggests, A Short History of Nearly Everything is a book on history. It is written by Bill Bryson. He is a fantastic American-British author of nonfiction titles that are related to traveling, history, science, and the English language. The Mother Tongue and A Walk in the Woods are two of his most considerable titles.
The audio narration of the subject title is done by Richard Matthews. His performance for the book proved to be icing on the cake and it made everything sound so beautiful.
If you have read In a Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryon then you must have found him trekking through the Appalachian Trail, which he covered most of it. In A Sunburned Country book, he could be seen confronting the most lethal wildlife that Australia has got to offer.
A Short History of Nearly Everything is a dazzling and engrossing book. Bill Bryson shared some excellent stuff delightfully. On top of that, Richard Matthews nailed it with his outstanding vocal performance. This book is the record of the quest of Bill Bryson and it is sometimes a funny and sometimes profound book.
