Just the yellowstone volcano has to blow out with full power. 😄The book is recommended to develop gratitude for our current existence and good fortune and truely does a good job at that.Humans are the nature’s best creation as yet and also the most irresponsible. We have a responsibility that remains largely ignored.

Haven't read the entire book yet, but judging by the introduction part and a quick overlook, and way of writing and explanation.It's good for beginners, because I'm a beginner in reading and it's drawing my attention and interesting good. And I'm a bit confused about everything going on around me and find out, this book can help me process everything with a single vision. So I bought this book, judging by the introduction part it seems promising, now let's see what it delivers.

Book is an excellent piece of writing in typical Bryson style. However, please bear in mind while reading that it covers the scientific developments till about 2002 and no further.. therefore the author, mentions even 2010 as future! Therefore the info presented in the book on aspects of science may be dated by about 20+ years.Rest is all well with the book.

Very good quality book 📖.Delivered in 2 days with Prime Membership.

Over the years, I’ve read books written by Mr. Bryson; his books are well researched and incorporates fusion of modern and traditional writing.

Brilliant book and great packaging , with smooth and clear paper quality.
