Showing results for "And the Rest Is History" in Politics & Social Sciences

A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson's fascinating and humorous quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization. He takes subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry, and particle physics, and aims to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. In the company of some extraordinary scientists, Bill Bryson reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

Hosted by Melbourne Fringe Creative Director Simon Abrahams and State Library Victoria Curator Kate Rhodes, this podcast unpacks some of the ideas and dilemmas that lie at the heart of Fringe's past, present and future.
