Book Title: A Short History of Nearly Everything
Author: Bill Bryson
Selection Statement:
This book walks the reader through a myriad of scientific disciplines including chemistry, geology, astronomy, and more. The author provides a broad overview, including the historic timing and significance of each field's most important developments. Aside from providing a digestible introduction to fields I did not know, this perfectly embodied the curiosity that drew me to science - and reminded me that we must remain ever curious about all science, not just that with which we are familiar.
