Mathematics for the Million: Lancelot Hogben *** 20 June 2017 - A unique take on mathematical education, reprinted from the 1930s.
Mysteries of the Quantum Universe: Thibault Damour and Mathieu Burniat *** 19 June 2017 - A bravely original attempt to explore quantum physics through a TinTinish graphic novel. While it doesn't entirely work, should be celebrated for originality.

DISCLAIMER
This site has no connection with Popular Science magazine or other sites and publications with a similar name.
The website should not be eaten or used where it can come into contact with water.
Much of the content of this site is written by popular science writers or friends of popular science writers. Inevitably many of the reviews in such a small community are written by or about someone we know. We always aim to be impartial in our reviews, but there is a connection which we need make clear, as there is no intention to deceive. The content of any review or article is solely the opinion of the author and should not be read or understood on any other basis. The site exists to promote popular science writing and popular science authors and for this reason should be considered promotional material, just as the editorial reviews in an online bookshop or the blurb on the back of a book should be considered promotional.
