A Short History of Nearly Everything

Bill Bryson

I believe they should have a science history class in high school. This book would be a great reference tool for organization of the class. I believe the humor and analogies given, could help encourage students to take an interest in science, and discover the different avenues to explore.

I agree. It would put science into context. I don't think that kids realise just how many people dedicated their lives to scientific progress. Some of that stuff alsmost reads like a soap opera!
