“Bill Nye, The Science Guy, single-handedly imbued an entire
generation with a love of science. Herein he offers a novel recipe
for how to harness that energy to save the world. I’m in. Are
you?”
—Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist, American Museum of Natural
History
“Bill Nye is the Science Guy, but he's more than that. He's the
Mind Guy—he shows how our brains process information before they
produce ideas. You know those board games that said they're for
kids of all ages? This book is one of those.”
—Questlove
“This is Bill Nye at his best—engaging us with his personal journey
to discover science and interwoven with anecdotes of how science
has shaped human history and society today. He brilliantly
differentiates between those who dabble in information and
scientists who think critically in their search for cause and
effect. He concludes we can tap the collective brainpower of the
world to solve the largest problems facing humankind. This is book
is must-read for all.”
—Mark Z. Jacobson, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
and director of Stanford’s Atmosphere/Energy Program
“Not since Carl Sagan’s The Demon-Haunted World has someone so
elegantly shown how science is much more than figures and
equations—it’s a way of looking at the world. Like Sagan before
him, Bill Nye is a master storyteller, and in Everything All At
Once he manages to weave science, history, politics, and delightful
personal stories into a compelling treatise on the world and our
place in it. Read this book and help change the world!”
—Michael E. Mann, Distinguished Professor of Meteorology and
director of Pennsylvania State University’s Earth System Science
Center
“In his delightful new book, Everything All At Once, Bill Nye
reminds us why he remains the high priest of nerd cool, spreading
his irrepressible zeal for science and wonder across every page.
Tracing his story from early years idolizing Carl Sagan and Steve
Martin to the success of his “Science Guy” TV show and from recent
stewardship of the Planetary Society to advocacy for climate change
activism, Bill writes with clarity and vision, offering a
compelling call-to-arms for scientifically-literate citizens to
change the world. As Bill puts it: “Information is the currency of
the nerd perspective” and this book contains an embarrassment of
riches.”
–Heather Berlin, Ph.D., M.P.H., Assistant Professor of Psychiatry,
Icahn School of Medicine Mount Sinai, and PBS and Discovery Channel
host
“Our best teachers—in school, and later, in life—understand that
learning is accomplished not by dragging students kicking and
screaming to truth while we try desperately to stay afloat amid a
sea of facts and figures.
Nobody "gets" this like Bill Nye, America's national
science-teacher-in-chief. In Everything All At Once, he smooths out
the path to knowledge for us adults—all of us out here with
families and jobs and attention span issues—like he did for us as
children. He does it with plain truths, jolly good humor, and a
respect for both his subject and his audience.
If you don't like Bill, Bill, Bill, there's something wrong with
you. And if you don’t like this book, you're not trying."
—Michael Naidus, showrunner and executive producer, “Bill Nye Saves
the World”
