Cosmos Reviews

This book made me fall in love with physics, which - as I always hated science at school - is no mean feat. It looks at everything from ancient Egypt to the possibility of alien life. Pop science at its best -- Matt Haig
** 'Enticing, imaginative, readable, iridescent * The New York TIMES *
