Adam Nicolson
RaveLibrary JournalNicolson combines poetry and marine life in his meditative look at the seashore near his home in the Scottish Highlands ... The culture, traditions, and industry of people, both modern and ancient, play a role in this story as do the rocks and tides. Nicolson ties the work of naturalists, poets, philosophers, and current scientists into his contemplation of time, presence, and refuge ... Nicolson’s lyrical history and description of one ecosystem is active, thoughtful, and inviting and will appeal to both the scientific and literary minded.

Mario Livio
RaveLibrary JournalThough much has been written on the famous thinker and observer, Livio enhances his narrative with clear, accessible explanations of Galileo\'s experiments from mechanics to astronomy. Fascinating details include information about one of Galileo\'s other interests: casting horoscopes ... An extremely readable biography paired well with analysis of current scientific thinking and controversies. For all fans of popular science.
Alexander Boxer
PositiveLibrary JournalBoxer clearly explains the close relationship among astronomy, astrology, and mathematics throughout history—and what it means for the future ... While Boxer’s enthusiasm for the subject shows in his engaging narrative style, some of the more technical material will leave casual readers behind. Strongly recommended for historians with some awareness of mathematical concepts or seasoned popular science readers.
Joanna Kavenna
PositiveLibrary JournalKavenna brings wit and moments of levity to this portentously dark look at a society ruled by corporate technology.
C W Gortner
PositiveLibrary JournalThrough the voice of Maria, Gortner succeeds in adding a new perspective to the well-known story of Nicholas, Alexandra, and Rasputin. As a sister, wife, mother, and empress, she is a fierce and dynamic narrator ... A solid recommendation for readers of historical fiction, especially those who favor the lives of kings and queens.
