Publisher's Summary

Black holes. DNA. The Large Hadron Collider. Ever had that sneaking feeling that you are missing out on some truly spectacular science? You do? Well fear not, for help is at hand.

Ben Miller was working on his Physics PhD at Cambridge when he accidentally became a comedian. But first love runs deep, and he has returned to his roots, to share with you all his favourite bits of science. This is the stuff that you really need to know, not only because it matters, but because it will quite simply amaze and delight you.

"Let me show you another, perhaps less familiar side of Science; her beauty, her seductiveness and her passion. And let's do it quickly, while Maths isn't looking." (Ben Miller)

Very well presented.

Easy listening and very good delivery. Material could be a little more challenging but then might be just right for the next person.

Great easy book, fun and approachable.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ben Miller's "It's no Rocket Science". It provides a broad introduction to all of the key concepts in science, and would be a good starting point for anyone with even a passing interest in thinking. As someone with a bit more background in most of the topics covered, I still found there were new gems I wasn't aware of, and frankly, as someone with an interest in this stuff it never hurts to hear another take on it. Narrated beautifully by the author, it provides a light hearted and fun tone. I'll probably listen to it again.
