Bryson's style is witty, engaging and makes even the hardest topics understandable.

Review:
I love Bryson's travel books for his keen eye and witty humour, and he brings both to this book. It's obvious he's a man who loves the topic too and was as amazed to discover some of these things as he is delighted to share them.

If you don't usually like reading books about science, I urge you to try this.
