I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have had my mind alternately expanded and compressed. Prof. Cox doesn't avoid discussing complex topics or details of physics that ordinarily most would find baffling; instead he patiently explains the concepts clearly using stories and analogies to be sure that the point is well communicated.

I am very much looking forward to exploring his other works.

Really informative and thought provoking. I will definitely reread to get a better understanding of some of the more challenging scientific concepts.

Another tie in book for a BBC series by Brian Cox. This time he is looking at the biological phenomena that is life.

As with his other books on the solar system and the wonders of the universe, the photos are stunning. It is written in a clear and non technical style and in the same short passages with photos, diagrams and other visual explanations.

I think though that he had a little assistance on this, and there is a co author, and biology is not he specialist subject. He does manage to squeeze in picture of stars (where carbon is first formed), and the odd telescope.

Well worth reading, but not quite as good as his others.
