  Seeing Further by Bill Bryson

  Price: £18.99    Add to Basket

  A glorious history of Science and the Royal Society from 1660 edited by Bill Bryson. Lavishly illustrated, it includes contributions from Richard Dawkins and Margaret Atwood, and descriptions of experiments from trying to trap a spider inside a circle of ground unicorn's horn to dissecting a live cat. A wonderful present that you may want to keep for yourself.
