Trade Review
A wonderfully engaging blend of wit, enthusiasm, clarity and knowledge. -- Bill Bryson
The illustrations are truly excellent. -- Professor Alice Roberts
Like the universe itself, this book is multi-faceted, surprising and full of wonders. It's also funny, wise and exceedingly brainy. You really owe it to yourself to read it. -- Tim Harford, author of How To Make The World Add Up
If only Adam Rutherford and Hannah Fry were on tap to all of us, all the time: we could turn to them whenever we wanted delicious explanations, narratives and theories to make sense of the material world. But we do have this deeply addictive book as a companion. The pair have such a gift for making life, numbers and the forces at work in the universe all the richer, stranger, funnier and more marvellous. -- Stephen Fry
