Описание: Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller: but even when he stays safely in his own study at home, he can`t contain his curiosity about the world around him. It`s not so much about what we know, as about how we know what we know.

Описание: Tells the story of how American arose out of the English language, and along the way, de-mythologizes his native land - explaining how a dusty desert hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn`t won, why Americans say `lootenant` and `Toosday`, and more.

Описание: An Informal History of Private Life - the first major new Bryson for four years! It struck Bill Bryson one day that we devote a lot more time to the Wars of the Roses or the Normandy Landings than considering what most of history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business. So he started a journey around his house, an old rectory in Norfolk, wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things in life came to be. Along the way he allowed himself delightful digressions on the history of everything from architecture to epidemics, from food preservation to electricity, and from crinolines to toilets!

Описание: Presenting a tour of English from its mongrel origins to its status as the world`s most-spoken tongue; its apparent simplicity to its deceptive complexity; its vibrant swearing to its uncertain spelling and pronunciation, this book covers curious eccentricities that make it as maddening to learn and as flexible to use.

Описание: This work combines two of Bill Bryson`s best-loved books and demonstrates his take on life - from either side of the pond. Written in the form of bite-sized essays, both books are gently humorous as they highlight the idiosyncracies of the USA and Great Britain.

Описание: Join the authors of this book in starting a movement of hope and possibility for an antiracist child care and early childhood education system. This volume disrupts mental models regarding where the work of early care and education began and how the stigma of that beginning relegates present-day child care workers to a low-status field of practice.

Описание:

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte.

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America-majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you're going to take a hike, it's probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaining guide you'll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way-and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).
