A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson (Author)

THE CLASSIC
NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"A wonderful, splendid
book—a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise, who
wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the
future." –Howard Fast
Historian Howard Zinn’s A
People’s History of the United States chronicles American history from the
bottom up, throwing out the official narrative taught in schools—with its
emphasis on great men in high places—to focus on the street, the home, and the
workplace.
