About this product

Product Information

A breathtaking and beautiful exploration of our planet, this groundbreaking book accompanies the BBC One TV series, providing the deepest answers to the simplest questions. 'What is motion?' 'Why is every snowflake different?' 'Why is life symmetrical?' To answer these and many other questions, Professor Brian Cox uncovers some of the most extraordinary natural events on Earth and in the Universe and beyond. From the immensity of the Universe and the roundness of Earth to the form of every single snowflake, the forces of nature shape everything we see. Pushed to extremes, the results are astonishing. In seeking to understand the everyday world, the colours, structure, behaviour and history of our home, we develop the knowledge and techniques necessary to step beyond the everyday and approach the Universe beyond. Forces of Nature takes you to the great plains of the Serengeti, the volcanoes of Indonesia and the precipitous cliffs in Nepal, to the humpback whales of the Caribbean and the northern lights of the Arctic. Brian will answer questions on Earth that will illuminate our understanding of the Universe. Think you know our planet? Think again.

  • Forces of Nature

    Although the TV series is quite dumbed down for general public consumption, the book of the series just as the previous series has more detailed information. As per Professor Brian Cox's previous series and books this would be ideal content for all schools, colleges & Universities to study the current latest scientific concepts. I only wish I could have had such beautifully crafted books when I was at school, college & university (I read Physics at Manchester University in the late 70s). Who ever opens these books will be enthralled at the Universe we are consciously part of.
