Sunday Times Bestseller

A breathtaking and beautiful exploration of our planet, this groundbreaking book accompanies the BBC One TV series, providing the deepest answers to the simplest questions.

How did life on Earth begin?
What is the nature of space and time?
What are the chances that we will discover life on other worlds?

Forces of Nature takes you from the mid-Atlantic ridge in Iceland, the volcanoes of Indonesia and the precipitous cliffs in Nepal, to the manatees off the coast of Florida and the northern lights of the Arctic, in search of the fundamental laws that govern our world.

These universal laws shape everything, from the structure of snowflakes to the elegant spirals of the galaxies. By seeking to understand the everyday world - the colours, structure, behaviour and history of our home - we can step beyond the everyday and approach the Universe beyond.

Think you know our planet?
Think again.

In Forces of Nature, Professor Brian Cox takes us on a journey through the cosmos, delving into the intricacies of astronomy and cosmology. This top science book, a Sunday Times bestseller, is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the universe and our place in it.

For fans of Stephen Hawking (Black Holes), Carl Sagan (The Demon-Haunted World), Henry Gee (A), and Marcus Chown (Infinity in the Palm of Your Hand).
