A Little History of Everything by Tim Coulson

The problem with the words little and everything is that they never do the justice to the topic discussed when used together.

This is exactly the case here. The book has something of everything and tries to give a lot of information in a very small chapter. Technically, each chapter can be a book of its own but then it was never the idea for the author.

This book is only understandable when the reader has a good background in all the basic fields of science which means that you need to be well aware of all the fundamental principles and terms of physics, chemistry, maths, biology and evolution together. If you don't understand the terms like periodic table, particle physics, types of forces etc it may be difficult to comprehend.

Or you have the grit to learn and read the references in detail.
