Media Reviews
Sunday Times (Culture) the most enjoyable non-fiction of the year for readers of nine and over .both (books) demonstrate how gripping facts can be when expounded not in snippets but in continuous prose. Sunday Times (Culture) Both volumes are riveting .these are not just sound-bite snacks for short attention spans, but unfolding feasts that leave you with a sense of wonder that, in the mind-boggling span of the Universe, you are there at all to read them.
