What a Wonderful World: One Man's Attempt to Explain the Big Stuff by Marcus Chown

4.0

There is so much we think we know but really don't when it comes down to it. Or maybe we do, but can't recall the crucial details. Or maybe that's just me. Either way, I chewed my way through What a Wonderful World in a couple of days and at a point felt like it could substitute several years of education. Or that it could substitute the dry textbooks required for several educational courses, at any rate. It's to the point (with a hint of humour), well-researched and - as if I haven't used the word enough already - educational. Brilliant.
