A Short History of Nearly Everything is Bill Bryson’s quest to find out everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization – how we got from there being nothing at all to here being us. ; ; His challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us and see if there isn’t some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science. It’s not so much about what we know as about how we know what we know. How do we know what is in the centre of the Earth or what a black hole is or where the continents were 600 million years ago? How did anyone ever figure these things out? ; ; On his travels through time and space Bill Bryson takes us with him on the ultimate eye-opening journey and reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

Lyra lies sleeping in a cave near a rainbow drugged into unconsciousness by her mother Mrs Coulter whose love for her daughter closely rivals her own ruthless ambition. Now the latter threatens to overcome the former as she strives to prevent the events which are dependent on the decisions Lyra is fated to make. Meanwhile Will-scarred and traumatised after his last fatal meeting with his father-seeks blindly for her with only two of Lord Asriel’s angels as companions on his dangerous search. The two are fated to meet once more however and begin their most treacherous journey. For Lyra owes a great debt and she must repay it-she must rescue her friend from the Land of the Dead. Neither are prepared for the terrible sacrifice they must endure or for the universal consequences of their actions. Lyra and Will must play their part in the war between the worlds and heaven…

With 18 hours’ charge from just two AA batteries, you can depend on Oregon to endure any outdoor activity – whether going out and about for some fresh air or planning a full-day’s excursion.

Ideal for manual navigation off the beaten track, a built-in electronic compass keeps you on course, however far you stray from the path. It even gives bearing information when standing still. Seek out a saved waypoint and navigate easily to a mapped position.

A built-in barometer tracks changes in atmospheric pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. The altimeter screen plots elevation and profile. You can even plot barometric pressure over time to keep an eye on changing weather conditions.
