Book recommendation

I highly recommend this book. As the title implies, it covers a lot of ground. But it covers that massive amount of ground in an entertaining, well written and informative way.

Seriously, we're talking 400 pages to cover the beginning of the planet to current times, with trips into the earth's crust, outer space, the ocean bottom, etc...

I suppose that doesn't sound fantasti, but trust me, I am not scientifically minded or inclined and I've really enjoyed this book.

Plus, I feel smarter every time I read any part of it!
