A pocketful of paperbacks from the Science Masters series has arrived under the Phoenix imprint at £4.99 each. Try Richard Leakey’s The Origin of Humankind (ISBN 1 857990 334 9) for speculation that reaches beyond the fossil horizon to the origins of art and language, John Barrow’s The Origin of the Universe (ISBN 1 85799 335 7) with its insights into what we should be investigating or Paul Davies’s philosophical treatment of the ultimate fate of the Universe in The Last Three Minutes (ISBN 1 85799 336 5). He also explores the possibility that the Universe won’t end.
