About the Author
Michio Kaku’s other notable books include Hyperspace, Physics of the Impossible, Physics of the Future and Beyond Einstein. He hosts the science segment of the talk show called CBS This Morning and a radio program called Science Fantastic and Explorations in Science. Kaku has won the Klopsteg Memorial Award in 2008. Kaku brings forward his theories in a simplistic manner, which makes them easy for everyone to comprehend. He wishes to tie in Einstein’s theory of the four essential forces of nature into one. For his school science project, he tied 22 miles of wire made from copper, with 400 pounds of metal to form a 20,000 times stronger magnetic field than that of the Earth.

- EU Descartes Prize for science communication (2005)
- J. A. Hollon palkinto Winner (2006)
- The Aventis Prizes for Science Books for best general science book (2004)
The ultimate eye-opening journey through time and space, A Short History of Nearly Everything is the biggest-selling popular science book of the 21st century and has sold over 2 million copies.
‘Truly impressive…It’s hard to imagine a better rough guide to science.’ Guardian
‘A travelogue of science, with a witty, engaging, and well-informed guide‘ The Times
Mr Bryson has a natural gift for clear and vivid expression. I doubt that a better book for the layman about the findings of modern science has been written ― Sunday Telegraph
A fascinating idea, and I can’t think of many writers, other than Bryson, who would do it this well. It’s the sort of book I would have devoured as a teenager. It might well turn unsuspecting young readers into scientists. And the famous, slightly cynical humour is always there ― Evening Standard
A genuinely useful and readable book. There is a phenomenal amount of fascinating information packed between its covers … A thoroughly enjoyable, as well as educational, experience. Nobody who reads it will ever look at the world around them in the same way again ― Daily Express
Of course, there are people much better qualified than Bill Bryson to attempt a project of this magnitude. None of them, however, can write fluent Brysonese, which, as pretty much the entire Western reading public now knows, is an appealing mixture of self-deprecation, wryness and punnery ― Spectator
The very book I have been looking for most of my life… Bryson wears his knowledge with aplomb and a lot of very good jokes ― Daily Mail

Apollo 11: The Inside Story
Rs. 2,790.00or 3 X Rs.930.00 withDavid Whitehouse
‘Fast-paced and tremendously readable … What makes this book really stand out from other Apollo based books is the inclusion of long quotes from interviews with astronauts such as John Glenn (the first American to orbit Earth), Eugene Cernan (the last man to walk on the Moon) and, of course, Neil Armstrong himself.’ ***** Book of the Month ― BBC Sky at Night magazine
The book is at its most successful when Whitehouse gets out of the way of its protagonists, letting the astronauts and cosmonauts offer their own verbatim accounts of their often perilous – and occasionally fatal – missions. The real strength of this book is its tribute to the human qualities of these men – and they are all men, with the exception of the brief but gripping story of one female cosmonaut – who were willing to sacrifice so much. ― The Irish News
In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, telling the story in the words of those who took part based around exclusive interviews with the key players … [An] enthralling book ― All About Space
David Whitehouse’s masterly narration of what he calls ‘the inside story’ is profoundly gratifying. –– The Spectator
