Bill Bryson interview

New Scientist interviews Bill Bryson, the travel writer whose new book, A Short History of Nearly Everything, is apparently a wonderfully broad and readable introduction to science.

"The part that I sometimes found hard was sitting with a scientist as they explained their work to me. I had one scientist who was extremely patient at explaining particle physics to me, and I simply couldn't grasp it at all. It seemed like the sort of thing that someone on LSD would be telling you."
