نال برياسون في عام 2004 الجائزة التقديرية أفانتس للكتب العلمية (بالإنجليزية: The Aventis Prizes for Science Books) على كتابه تاريخ مختصر لكل شيء تقريباً (بالإنجليزية: A Short History of Nearly Everything).[3] This 500-page popular literature piece explores not only the histories and current statuses of the sciences, but also reveals their humble and often humorous beginnings. Although one "top scientist" is alleged to have jokingly described the book as "annoyingly free of mistakes",[4] Bryson himself makes no such claim and a list of some reported errors in the book is available online. In 2005, the book won the EU Descartes Prize for science communication.[3]
