Review

'An illuminating read'

(Financial Times )

'This approachable and often funny compendium of tales about scientists and their discoveries is also making an important argument: that science is not the stately, dispassionate progress from evidence to theory that some of its self-appointed defenders think'

(Guardian )

'Addictive'

(Independent )
