Hunt with Newton

A witty and accessible treasure trove of scientific discoveries that goes to the heart of our human quest to understand who we are. This book doesn't dumb down or gloss over imponderables but will leave you marvelling at the science and asking for more. -- Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald
The brilliant and entertaining illustrations in this series enliven a clear and enjoyable text that should stimulate serious thought about the world and our place in it. -- Lord Rees, Astronomer Royal, President of the Royal Society 2005-2010
Too often science and faith are pitted against each other. This book breaks down that split in a creative and engaging way. It shows the scope of science in our lives and how the study of science and the study of God feed and magnify each other. Human beings have always been hungry for understanding and meaning, and this book beautifully shows how this has worked out from the earliest time. It is a book that leaves me in awe at the art of science: for the way it unveils the magnificence of God our Creator, who stretches out the canvas. -- Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury
Here is a wonderful and wittily written introduction to science as the art of asking open questions and not jumping to conclusions. It's also an amusing excursion through evolution and anthropology which packs in a lot of learning with the lightest of touches. A much-needed antidote to the bludgeoning crudity of so much writing in both science and religion. -- Rev Dr Malcolm Guite, poet, singer-songwriter, priest and academic.
