TWEETING THE UNIVERSE | MARCUS CHOWN AND GOVERT SCHILLING IN JOHANNESBURG

Subtitle: Tiny Explanations of Very Big Ideas Author: Marcus Chown and Govert Schilling Publisher: Faber & Faber () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: As New Binding: Softcover Pages: 311 Dimensions: 19.8 x 12.5 x 2 cm +++ by Marcus Chown and Govert Schilling +++ Tweeting the Universe is unlike any other science book. Marcus Chown and Govert Schilling present 140 explanations of the biggest questions in physics - in the form of 10 or so tweets per page. They boil down what is essential on each subject into sentences of 140 characters, and the results are both entertaining and brilliantly informative. Not a word is wasted.  If only all science writing could be so precise and so economical - only science writers of a very high caliber could achieve such compression.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
