Bonden reviewed Infinity in the Palm of Your Hand by Marcus Chown
All a bit pointless
1 star
Fancied a non-fiction read and I enjoy well-written science books so was looking forward to this.
It's not at all what I was expecting. It's not an in-depth look at one aspect or discipline of a science, it's a collection of eye-opening statements with fairly humdrum explanations. For example: "Babies are powered by rocket fuel!" which sounds intriguing but then the explanation is really that rockets and babies process energy in essentially the same way, which is clearly self-evident.
Disappointing.
