A Bill Bryson Audiobook - A brief History of almost everything.

Bill often reads his own stuff. He has a fine voice. Melodic and nuánced. This audiobook is really a history of science. Brilliant stuff. I will listen to it again some time in the future.

Also currently listening to another audiobook. This one is called "The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman. I've read the hardback, but that was a couple of years ago so it's good to go through it again.

It's basically a thought experiment. What would happen if humankind was to suddenly vanish from the planet? What would happen to the cities? To the atmosphere? To the animals and plants we left behind? To the plastics and toxins and pollutants we've added? And what would be our most enduring legacies?

All good cerebral stuff as I'm driving from one lesson to the next.
