Neil Shubin – The Universe Within

By Emil (Blogger) on Mon, 2013-09-16 09:34

The story of life and the universe can be mesmerizing. In his book The Universe Within Neil Shubin illustrates the history of the universe – all 13.7 billion years of it – by means of the much shorter history of scientific discovery of it. As parameters for a work of popular science go, they don't come much bigger. But Shubin succeeds brilliantly in meshing the shorter narrative with the great one: how 13.7 billion years of history have formed and fine-tuned ourselves and all living things.

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly BlackHolly Black's novel Tithe was my first brush with the genre of urban fantasy (not that I actually knew what it was called at the time), and for a young girl whose reading diet was mostly made up of high fantasy, Black's story about faeries living and hiding in plain sight in modern-day New

Reading Survey!!!!

What are you reading right now? Just finishing off Visitation Street by Ivy Pochoda, the first book to be published on Dennis Lehane's new imprint. Incidentally - accidentally, I should think not... - it is rather reminiscent of Mystic River, although in a more ethnically diverse Brooklyn setting. Gritty, real, and beautifully written with a terrific sense of place.

What will you be reading next? Night Film by Marisha Pessl, finally!

In Search of the Truth of Bletchley Park

Station X The Codebreakers of Bletchley Park by Michael Smith Codebreakers, eds. F.H. Hinsley and Alan Stripp The Ultra Secret by F.W. Winterbotham

(The Secrets of Station X by Michael Smith and Codebreakers, eds. F.H. Hinsley and Alan Stripp)

Bletchley Park is to my mind one of the most fascinating places in history. It was here that the British broke into German, Italian and Japanese codes and ciphers during the Second World War, among them the most famous, Enigma, the cipher used by all German Armed Forces.
