Book Cover: A Short History of Nearly Everything

Book cover design for "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. Published in Ukraine by Nash Format.

The book explains many areas of science and reports what happened between primordial nothingness and this very moment in a fun and easily accessible way.

In the introduction, the author mentions that what initially got him interested in science was a cutaway diagram showing the Earth's interior, which he saw in a classroom text when he was in fourth or fifth grade.

Having explored a number of ideas, I decided that since this image was what had sparked Bill Bryson's curiosity in the first place, it made perfect sense for the cover.
