Review
'A lovely book...you hear some pretty class stories' - Anita Anand, BBC Radio Five Live

'I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with an enquiring mind, or the desire to scrape the surface of popular wisdom to see what lies beneath. An entertaining and enlightening read, we can only wait for 10 More Questions Science Can't Answer (Yet).' - Alexis (Al) Lambourne, Materials Today

'...for anyone interested in the greatest mysteries about our lives, universe(s) and selves, this is the most engaging, yet manageable book of the decade. A must buy.' Business and Finance Ireland
