a short history of nearly everything

Last saturday i bought a very wonderful book by bill bryson (see the cover down there?).. trunkloads of information and facts which i think is brilliant! not only explain how did everything happen but also the history of itself, i mean how someone discovered it. the book was published in 2003 this is the cover:

6 hours ago i just knew how isaac newton made his calculation of gravity and stuff, "principia", and how a smarty ass he was than the other scientists, awesome! well in conclusion perhaps you should read it if you do curious about behind the scenes of everything..
