Brian's THE GLOBAL WARMING SURVIVAL KIT has now been launched in the UK

"Too many people find science dull and uninspiring. It shouldn't be. It's about how everything works. Us, our world, our universe. It's life and death stuff. But the sad fact is that science is often presented in a lifeless, unexciting way. At it's best, science writing gives us an understanding of the people who have delved into the workings of the universe - and opens our eyes to their remarkable discoveries."

Here's a chance to explore the strangest phenomenon in all of science, quantum entanglement. Or give some thought to dealing with all the problems global warming can throw at us. Then there are the mysteries of light - what is it? How can it be so seemingly fragile, yet exist for billions of years and cross the universe undamaged? What is so special about the speed of light? Or there's Roger Bacon, the remarkable 13th century friar who took on his religious hierarchy to spread the word of science. And as for infinity - where do you start? It fascinates and infuriates by turns. See the books section for more information.

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.
