informative slow-paced

Love the idea of this book!! Goes into the history about how we know what we know now - the theories and the discoveries in astrophysics, geology, chemistry etc.

There is SO MUCH INFO in this book - I feel like the book would be so much better if you are not rushing through. I think I ruined it for myself a bit by rushing through the book to finish it before loan period expires lmao

Absolutely fabulous! Informative, amusing, but still readable (despite heavy amounts of info). Would definitely recommend, and will probably read again!

Read a few chapters but haven’t finished it. This would be a good read some time in the future. So far, I enjoyed it.

Phenomenal read with a lot of interesting anecdotes interspersed within this history of everything. Particularly great because the book was always willing to admit where we as a species have gaps in knowledge.

The book gave me a lot of perspective on how infinitesimally small a corner of the universe we occupy and how short a time we've been around as a species.

Cool read. I know nothing and crave more knowledge of the world.

I remembered this book being a lot more interesting than it was. Read it maybe a decade ago.

Way too prescriptive.
