A review by ulanur
Forces of Nature by Andrew Cohen, Brian Cox

3.0

I absolutely adore Brian Cox's lyrical, romantic view on science. He does make it much more approachable than in science class where you just dread every second. That being said I enjoyed the BBC documentary by the same name much more than the book. Seeing visual representations in such exotic surroundings just made me fall in love with science all over again. There are many mathematical equations in the book, which I was not particularly fond of. It was however a joy and very humbling to find out how much we don't actually know.

The mane theme of this book is to ask questions, which is the cornerstone of science and what makes it unequalled in its beauty, so be a child again and ask the simple questions. Do you know the answers?
