Things is getting better and better and mankind is getting more and more and more creative. This book is literally tell much about things we have achieved, things we used to believe, rules we used to obey and many+many interesting fact (and myths) of mankind. History is my third favorite subject after Linguistics and Geography.

It's time to learn history NOW!!!!

Be prepared though to being overwhelmed because there is a lot of information in this book, with references to other works. This book is best read in sections allowing yourself some time to think about what you have learned; and I'm sure you are going to learn at least a few things.

There is plenty of background on how we have progressed in our efforts to understand the earth, the ocean depths, microbiology, the universe, and evolutionary processes. It's a discovery experience that I don't think anyone should ignore

Whoa, one of the best non-fiction books I've EVER read. I never knew the universe has no ends, or Einstein was a little bit weird as a kid but a brilliant scientist. There's a lot of good facts you learned by reading this book. No wonder it's a bestseller.
