Your guide to science, from the Big Bang to AI
Whether you wish to discover the basics of science or catch up on its latest developments, this short accessible guide is for you.
YOUNIVERSE describes in simple terms the world you are inseparably a part of: what it is, how it works and your place in it - insofar as these things are known. The text has been vetted by 13 distinguished scientists.
Journey now through time and space, a world of the unimaginably big and the inconceivably small - though the marvels of science.
This is a fine piece of work... very entertaining and informative... It should appeal and be useful to the generalist who wants an overview of scienceSir Peter Ratcliffe, 2019 Nobel Prize winnerand head of clinical research at the Francis Crick Institute
