Review: A thoroughly enjoyable book covering some things that I knew and a lot that I didn't. The material is covered in a pleasant way, starting in each topic in a way accessible to anyone with an interest in science, but taking you quite far into the subject. This is done by means of well chosen analogies and examples and has a lot of interesting and thoughtful discussion about the implications of the phenomena - but without the mathematics you would find in an academic text. It opened my eyes to things that I didn't know existed and my mind is buzzing thinking about it. Suffice it to say that it has led me to create a new collection on my Kindle - "Books to Read Again". It's also the first time I've used the Kindle "buy a book for someone else" as I felt I had to share it with my son.

Review: Liked the subject matter, but when the book turned up it was a classic case of a very large hardback squeezed into a paperback. Type to small, too many words per page and generally crammed in. Therefore, found it too hard to read. also, subject matter was vey dry and a bit more technical/scientific than I had been led to believe.
