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

4.0

This book freely roams the science behind various natural occurrences, along with the odd quip and tangent every now and then. Whilst I enjoyed some of these additions, I also found the writing style and structure to interrupt the flow of an explanation just a tad too often, working against the informative purpose of the book. (However, I appreciate that this is no doubt an issue that comes of trying to simultaneously breach such a variety of topics.) Despite this, I found it to be an engaging and enlightening read, sparking curiosity within me towards a variety of the areas covered, as well as providing me with a much greater understanding and respect of the interconnectedness of physics - if not all sciences. A worthwhile read, and certainly a book that I can see myself flicking through again in the future.

Irrelevant sidenote: why did the last 2 sentences confuse me more than the rest of the book? - A Thick Person
