The Universe - A Biography was created by dmcdona
Folks - I've been asked to review a book for the Mooney Show (RTE Radio 1).

The book is "The Universe - a Biography" by John Gribbin.

I'll be on the show next Friday (16th Feb) between 3 and 5pm and I understand Richard Collins (Zoological Consultant) will aslo be reviewing the book.

Has anyone read the book? Thoughts? It'd be nice to tell the listerners what other Irish astronomers here think of it.

Cheers
Dave

Sorry Dave - Haven't read it.
Be interested to hear your thoughts though. I'll have to expand my bookshelf of course - was thinkin of a roll off roof bookshelf, as I don't think 'er indoors will accomodate a dome in the bedroom. :D

Sorry - Bad weather makin' me doo-lally. :shock:

Clear Skies,

I don't have it Dave, you'd want to get cracking into it, looking forward to hearing your synopses of it, no pressure :)

Well, I got through the first three chapters (of ten) this weekend...

You'll have to listen to Mooney on Friday for the result - but it'll be worth the wait :D
