Jim Al-Khalili’s Black Holes, Worm Holes and Time Machines is
another of the many books about the wonders of the Universe and what we know
about them. But with a difference, though. Enthusiasm to make everything
understandable to the most untutored comes from every page. It’s successful,
it’s humorous and it’s up to date. A great crib for furtive, refreshing use.
Published by the Institute of Physics, £9.99, ISBN 0750305606.
