Description
In some 100 short articles, British science columnist and television presenter Steve Jones' barnstorming survey veers nimbly from the chemistry of gold to the failures of funding, the chaos in the heavens to the fight against creationism, the optical illusions of tartan plaid to the mathematics of elections. It also features interviews with playwrights, poets, and film directors, along with plenty on the Double Helix and the author's own specialty, the Snail Helix.
"One of the most engaging and revealing portraits of science and its practitioners you'll ever read."—Daily Express (UK)
