I love this narrator!! His voice adds a truly inquisitive and comical tone equal to the way my brain absorbs the world of science via magazines, school books and technology. Bravo! for transcribing written words into entertainment.
Buddy, you ain’t heard nutin yet. This book is also narrated by Richard Mathews. Best narration I’ve ever hear in my life. Can only get small clips of him on TH-cam. The rest is this guy we hear now. Nothing compares to the other guy: Richard Mathews
I couldn't have put it better myself! Seldom have l heard narrating that actually places you,your imagination "There" both in comprehension and pleasure at the same time. Kudos to Mr Bryson!...
Loved this book. Loved the narration. All of Bill Bryson’s books are amazing and in between laughing out loud and chuckling to myself I actually learn things. Love you Bill.
Bill Bryson has a good way of writing that makes subjects interesting and relatable. The one on The Human Body is good too. All his books are good tbh 😂
9:30:00 No diamonds were found in Johannesburg, that was gold. More gold than has been found there than anywhere else on earth. The diamonds were found in Kimberley, some 600km south-west of Johannesburg. There are several kimberlite pipes in Kimberley including the famous tourist attraction of the "Big Hole" - the original find.
Kimberly, Johannesburg. South Africa or there about, has proven to have vast deposits of both. But the Grosberg mine at Irian Jaya; in the lsland of New Guinea, may prove to contain and thus be the largest repository of both Gold and Copper in the world...
The problem with inclusiveness is it only counts if you agree with the woke generations agendas, if you dare to have your own opinion,you're labelled as some kind of phobic or crank, they're more like nazis than any right wing organisation in my opinion, have a good day 😁
I listened to all 9:32:17 of it. This book is all about the scientific history of the world. If you think about it that's the real knowledge humans have gained over the years. PS this isn't the whole book, it stops mid-sentence.
Bill Bryson's performs John Lennon's "Imagine": You can't Imagine no possessions I know that you can't No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of Man Can't Imagine all the people It's unimaginable (like every other concept in astrophysics apparently...)
@8:18:00 this book (published in 2003) foresaw the Japan earthquake waiting to happen. Just 7 years later, it happened... A quick Google search revealed that Japan had a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that killed over 19,000. Rest in peace to those caught in that EQ.
@@infoharvester no, the reader isn’t Bryson... if you want to hear a very good one read by him, check out his memories of his childhood, “The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid” - it’s freakin’ HILARIOUS. Bryson’s voice takes a little getting used to for some, but it’s worth it. 🙂

Wonderful wonderful book. So much fascinating information, had to take it in small doses to contemplate the subjects raised. Note for reader though, please dont try Australian accents 🥺😁
Great work and presentation, I only wish Mr.Bryson had mentioned Emmy Noether ( without her Therom and other mathematical assistance Einstein's maths don't work) and Paul Dirac ( one of Quantum physics founding fathers)..
Re Shoemaker Levy Comet, the folks at Electric Universe predicted the huge impacts that occurred. That neither you nor Big Science acknowledges this says it all… makes me ill.
For years I've been irritated with Bill Bryson for criticizing Grandma Gatewood who walked the Appalachian Trail. He seemed cynical about it-- probably because she completed it more than once and I don't think he ever did although he did write a book about his adventures walking part of it. He was so arrogant I have avoided his books. Since I don't have to pay for this one I'll listen. Take that Bill Bryson, you toad.
The other thing that possibly keep me from reading his books would be his statements on how the universe or excuse me how the possibility of mankind and it's billions and billions of atoms existing and can only happen once I thought that was a bit presumptive.
I think what pisses me off the most ist that he calls it a short history of nearly everything but it's ONLY a history of white, male discoveries (with a few exceptions). No mention of any history of the colored majority. Calling that "nearly everything" seems delusional...

@@Calvinjenn well NASA can't currently leave low earth orbit because of the radiation of the Van Allen belt. So it's pretty accurate. According to NASA they can't go back to the moon because they destroyed that technology and it's too difficult to rebuild.....

Something sounds a little suspect when an author comes out with a statement such as the billions and trillions of atoms that came together to make you happen will only happen just once somehow this statement makes me wonder about the author's belief in how random the universe is and then again maybe not.

Thank you so much. I need these times.
Love it
Doing gym right now and listening to this feel awesome
I fell asleep with this playing and I had some crazy ass dreams!
Cool to hear that others get dreams influenced by the audiobooks they sleep off to. I've seen some shit as well brother...
Did you guys see each other in those dreams?
Book I keep returning to because it helps me sleep

I had to put him on 0.75 speed. Far too fast and not the right stresses or intonation. Is it an AI voice? I'm assuming so.
Loved this book. Loved the narration. All of Bill Bryson’s books are amazing and in between laughing out loud and chuckling to myself I actually learn things. Love you Bill.
It’s so worth buying the audiobook read by the author. A great travel companion. But this will do quite nice. thank you.
This should be taught in every school on earth.
Yes
Liked it so I liked it
This book and the narrator is simply SUPERB! 👍
Ok!😁
English dry humor is read best by this writer.
Thank you for posting - what a crazy cool book. So many things that are connected to each other by discovery I had no idea.
There's also a part two 😊
Out of all the great knowledge sources I have, this has to be the largest source, Mainly because it's a short history of flipping nearly everything.
What a great book, I’ve listened to it quite a few times over the years.
Yes, agreed. But the best version is the one narrated by Richard Matthews...
What you learn?
This deserves way more likes it is very good
Thank you, I've read the book and now found this, lucky me. Very good narration. 👍

In our modern world, we claim to want to be inclusive.
Yet it seems in the past wildly eccentric characters were accepted and greatly valued.
The problem with inclusiveness is it only counts if you agree with the woke generations agendas, if you dare to have your own opinion,you're labelled as some kind of phobic or crank, they're more like nazis than any right wing organisation in my opinion, have a good day 😁
Isn't the point on inclusivity that everyone is accepted, especially the eccentric?
@@UmuPadoru in theory yes, but it doesn't work like that in the real world does it
They were valued because they already came from rich families. Pretty hard to be a scientist if you don't come from a great family even today.
