In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

So etwas gelingt nur Bill Bryson: Ein Spaziergang durch sein Haus führt ihn zur Geschichte der Menschheit. Er wandelt von Zimmer zu Zimmer und stößt dabei auf die Geschichte des Essens, Schlafens, Sexes und der Hygiene und macht auch vor Wanzen, Skorbut, sogar der Leichenräuberei nicht halt. Eben ein Abriss dessen, was der Menschheit alles passiert ist, seit sie sesshaft wurde - fundiert, anschaulich und humorvoll, wie wir Bill Bryson kennen.

L'autore di "Breve storia di (quasi) tutto" ci accompagna nel viaggio più affascinante: quello dentro di noi. Bill Bryson è un insostituibile compagno di viaggio, qualunque siano la meta e il percorso. Questa volta ci guida in una interessante passeggiata all'interno del corpo umano, dalla testa ai piedi. Molti di noi, infatti, non hanno un'idea precisa di come il corpo funzioni in tutte le sue parti e di cosa succeda al suo interno, della sua capacità di difendersi dalle malattie e di guarire, ma anche dei numerosi modi in cui qualcosa può andare storto.

Vi går gennem hele livet i en og samme krop, og alligevel ved de fleste af os stort set intet om, hvordan vores krop fungerer, og hvad der sker inden i os. Dette gør den formidable videnskabsformidler Bill Bryson, forfatter til bl.a. bestselleren "En kort historie om næsten alt", noget ved. I "Kroppen - en guide for indehavere" tager han os med på en dybt fascinerende rejse fra top til tå og anskueliggør det vidunder, vores legeme er.

Vor zwanzig Jahren beschloss der Amerikaner Bill Bryson, England zu seiner Wahlheimat zu machen. Damals brach er auf zu einer großen Erkundungsreise quer über die britische Insel. Inzwischen ist er ein alter Hase, aber dennoch entdeckt er immer wieder Neues, was ihn fasziniert und amüsiert. Kein Wunder also, dass es ihn reizt, diese Insel erneut ausgiebig zu bereisen. Von Bognor Regis bis Cape Wrath, vom englischen Teehaus bis zum schottischen Pub, von der kleinsten Absteige bis zum noblen Hotel, Bryson lässt nichts aus und beantwortet zahlreiche Fragen.

At the age of 38, Danish scientist Rikke Schmidt Kjærgaard is struck down by an acute bout of bacterial meningitis. Weeks later, she wakes from a coma in intensive care to find herself “locked in,” unable to show she is conscious except by blinking her eyes. Despite a mere 5 percent chance of survival, she makes a miraculous recovery and returns to the world - painfully learning how to breathe, move, eat, and speak again, even resume her work as a scientist.

An den Tagen, wenn Sie etwas zum hundertsten Mal erklären müssen, scheint das Beste, worauf Sie hoffen können, nur noch eines zu sein: die Situation irgendwie zu überstehen.
