I wish there was someone who had read/heard Bryson's book to discuss the differences in approach.
I found his more chronological, Archimedes, Eqypt, Newton, Einstein into modern physics, of course with tons of details and developments in between. He was also more anecdotal and evenhanded with less emphasis on certainty.
Will be interesting to so how Cosmos builds upon previous episodes week to week.
