Recensione:
BASNW 2013: "An excellent introduction to the key issues in science today." —PD Smith, The Guardian BASNW 2012: "There is so much we don’t know, which leads us to make so many irrational decisions that we need scientists and science writers to share their inquiries and discoveries in welcoming and lucid prose. Stellar examples of just this sort of cogent and compelling writing sustains this invaluable and exciting series." —Booklist
