Michael White
Michael White's early years aren't well recorded, but ccording to his book blurbs, White was a member of band The Thompson Twins in 1982 (though TT fans are a little puzzled by this, as there is no evidence of his involvement while the group had that name). He went on to teach at d'Overbroeck's College, an independent school in Oxford, England. In 1991 he became a full time writer and has written 25 books, many being excellent works of popular science.

White was awarded the Bookman Prize in the US for best popular science book of 1998 for his Newton biography, and has been shortlisted for the Aventis Prize. He is now based in Perth, Western Australia with his wife and four children.

DISCLAIMERS

This site has no connection with Popular Science magazine or other sites and publications with a similar name.

Much of the content of this site is written by popular science writers or friends of popular science writers. Inevitably many of the reviews in such a small community are written by or about someone we know. We always aim to be impartial in our reviews, but there is a connection which we need make clear, as there is no intention to deceive. The content of any review or article is solely the opinion of the author and should not be read or understood on any other basis. The site exists to promote popular science writing and popular science authors and for this reason should be considered promotional material, just as the editorial reviews in an online bookshop or the blurb on the back of a book should be considered promotional.

The website should not be eaten or used where it can come into contact with water.
