Critics Review
Praise for Prof Brian Cox:
`Cox's romantic, lyrical approach to astrophysics all adds up to an experience that feels less like homework and more like having a story told to you. A really good story, too.' Guardian `He bridges the gap between our childish sense of wonder and a rather more professional grasp of the scale of things' Independent `If you didn't utter a wow watching the TV, you will while reading the book' The Times `Engaging, ambitious and creative' GuardianAbout The Author
