{"product_id":"9780091874773","title":"Science of Discworld","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"In the high-energy magic facility of Unseen University, the wizards have created a miniature cosmos that includes Roundworld, known to us as Earth. As they bicker over the meaning of this - to them - unfeasible and bizarre planet, we go on a tour of Big Science. From astrophysics to quantum mechanics, the interleaved chapters give us a briefing on the history and the present state of play of our scientific learning, while stressing alway the limits of our knowledge--. The tone is intelligent and humorous (think Horizon with laughs) and demands an intellectual engagement on the part of the reader. The result is a book in which the hard science is as gripping as the fiction--one for anyone with an interest in where science comes from and where it is going.\" - The Times\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart, Jack Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Mass market (rack) paperback","offer_id":67626022797472,"sku":"9780091874773","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/9780091874773.jpg?v=1790868621","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780091874773","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
