       Praise for Professor Brian Cox:

      ‘Engaging, ambitious and creative.’

      – Guardian

      ‘He bridges the gap between our childish sense of wonder and a rather more professional grasp of the scale of things.’

      – Independent

      ‘If you didn’t utter a wow watching the TV, you will while reading the book.’

      – The Times

      ‘In this book of the acclaimed BBC2 TV series, Professor Cox shows us the cosmos as we have never seen it before – a place full of the most bizarre and powerful natural phenomena.’

      – Sunday Express

      ‘Cox’s romantic, lyrical approach to astrophysics all adds up to an experience that feels less like homework and more like having a story told to you. A really good story, too.’

      – Guardian

      ‘Will entertain and delight … what a priceless gift that would be.’

      – Independent on Sunday
