More Summer Reading

I just got finished reading A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson and I really enjoyed it. He's more well-known for travel writing, and I've heard good stuff about all of his books. This one however, sets out to provide a basic, but not superficial explanation of the world and universe. Its an easy read, despite of the fact that he talks about the theory of relativity and the Big Bang theory and plate tectonics.
