  PRAISE FOR

  The Lying Stones of Marrakech

  ‘Our greatest living popular science essayist.’

  Sunday Times

  ‘A scientist who has become a Western publishing phenomenon. His quirkiness, his ability to coalesce seemingly unconnected topics, and his individual passion are qualities that help make him such a powerful writer.’

  Observer

  ‘One of the best essayists in the business. He uses his wide background knowledge as a bridge to entice non-scientists into sharing the excitement of scientific discovery.’
