Funny interesting, just the best non fiction book ever and perhaps his best. The book covers everything including the big bang, atoms, genealogy, nature and all the early explorers and scientist - including quite a few eccentrics/madmen. I particularly enjoyed mankind's keenness to find the age and weight of our planet. Science has come on a lot in the last twenty years and I can only hope for sequel like Little Dribbling. A must read for anyone remotely interested in science, nature and the folly of humankind.

Wouldn't know if the content is compelling, it was bought as a small gift for someone who had a sight op and on opening the case it fell apart, was cracked with a lump missing,not very happy with WOB

Fantastic content, packed with knowledge, my only wish is for the full book instead of short cuts.
