An introduction to the central facts, evidence and issues of modern science, from black holes to DNA, from the Big Bang to the workings of the brain. It will be an ideal introduction to an increasingly central area, and an entry for teenagers, and adults with no or little background, alike.

Industry Reviews

A radical departure for Gribbin, who is known for books that focus on sharply defined areas of science at the cutting edge of research. This time, he has gone to the opposite extreme, offering an overview of the whole scientific endeavour, in which he explains how everything is connected to everything else, from atoms to quarks, molecules to biology, life and the universe.
