Science of Discworld III: Darwin's Watch by Ian Stewart
They know the creatures who lived there escaped the impending Big Freeze by inventing the space elevator - they even intervened to rid the planet of a plague of elves, who attempted to divert humanity onto a different time track. Can the God of Evolution come to humanity's aid and ensure Darwin writes a very different book?The hard science is as gripping as the fiction * The Times *
Entertaining and illuminating * New Scientist *
Fantastic... this is some of the best science writing around today, intelligent and witty, creative and playful... if only science could be taught like this in school, many of us would have paid more attention * Fortean Times *
