Critics Review
Ben Miller has made a successful career out of concealing his intellect, but in this book he fails to obscure his scientific credentials beautifully. It’s a fun and insightful ride through the whole of science - it’s almost as if he’d finished his PhD! - Professor Brian Cox
This book makes climate change actually seem interesting. Not just important - it’s obviously important - but interesting. As a result I bought lots of other books about climate change, something I now regret - David MitchellAbout The Author
Ben Miller
Ben Miller studied physics at Cambridge and was working on his PhD when he left to pursue a career in comedy. He is now half of Britain’s most popular TV comedy duo, Armstrong & Miller, and a successful actor, but has always maintained a passionate interest in science.
