About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Science is a serious business, right? Wrong.

Scientists have been participants in the best reality show of all time, with all the highs, lows, bust-ups, and strange personalities of any show on telly today. From Luke O'Neill - the science teacher you wish you'd had - this hugely accessible history of science reveals the human stories behind the biggest discoveries.

For example, we meet Charles Darwin as he weighs up the pros and cons of marrying his cousin: 'constant companion' vs 'less money for books'. Tough call.

To Boldly Go Where No Book Has Gone Before covers everything from space travel and evolution to alchemy and AI. Written by one of our leading scientists, this is an insider's account that celebrates the joy of science. It is filled with all the juicy bits that other histories leave out.

I'm struggling to find a book now, which makes me desperate to get back to each day to it to find out what happens next. This is one of those books. Loads of information flows from the author/narrator who makes every sentence so interesting. I've always liked science but I believe this book would help encourage youngsters to look at the subject enthusiastically.
