| Summary/Abstract |
Draws on everyday examples to expose the favourite economic fallacies of the right and the left, making it clear how virtually all commonly held beliefs about the economy- whether espoused by political activitists, politicians, journalists, or taxpayers - are just plain wrong, and why it is only through economic literacy that we can come to a sober assessment of the strengths and weakness of capitalism.

| Summary/Abstract |
In A Short History of Nearly Everything, beloved author Bill Bryson confronts his greatest challenge yet: to understand - and, if possible, answer - the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as his territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us. The result is a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it.
