Science books by Professor Brian Cox
From his inauspicious start in show business as the keyboard player in 90's pop band D:Ream, Professor Brian Cox's career has gone from strength to strength, to the point where he's now the most recognisable face of science on UK television.
His gift of communicating complex scientific ideas in a simple and straightforward way is a key part of his success, and the science books that he has released to accompany his TV series certainly share this easy accessibility.

Wonders of the Universe
The sheer size and complexity of the known universe can make it seem mind-bogglingly distant and remote – however, as Brian Cox's latest science book so admirably shows, the forces that formed and sculpt it are just the same as those we encounter in our daily lives.
In Wonders of the Universe , Brian Cox sets out to explore the furthest reaches of the cosmos using concepts and metaphors that everyone can relate to. The result is a surprisingly easy read which nevertheless manages to deftly capture the sheer magnitude and overwhelming majesty of the universe in which we live.
It's easy to lose sight of the actual scale of the universe when bombarded with facts and statistics, but Cox avoids this pitfall and provides an enlightening and often awe-inspiring science book that never gets bogged down in figures an equations.
With a Recommended Retail Price of £20, this is a science book that won't break the bank; and with Book Collections you can spend even less just by clicking the button below.
Wonders of the Solar System
While the solar system might seem familiar to all of us, the reality of our celestial neighbours is far stranger and more amazing than most of us could ever imagine. Brian Cox's Wonders of the Solar System takes it readers on a fascinating tour through the various planets and moons that make up our local corner of the universe, using lavish full-colour illustrations to fuel the imagination and paint a phenomenal picture of the astonishing beauty of the worlds that surround us.
Based on the much-loved TV series of the same name, this stunning science book is far more than just a companion volume to the television show. Packed full of mesmerising detail without ever getting lost in scientific jargon, Wonders of the Solar System is a thrilling read that you can dip in and out of for years to come.

Why Does E=mc2?
It's an equation that everyone knows by heart, but very few fully understand. In Why Does E=mc2? , Professor Brian Cox and his co-author Professor Jeff Forshaw seek to unpick this most famous of all mathematical constructs and examine exactly what its implications are for the way in which we understand the world around us.
Physics often seems like a daunting and even impenetrable subject for most laypeople, but Why Does E=mc2? manages to keep the hard science to a minimum and delivers instead a refreshingly clear conception of what Einstein's much-repeated equation actually means when applied to the real world.
Whether you're new to popular science writing or are already well-versed in the subject, this revealing science book sheds some much-needed light on one of he most important yet poorly understood concepts of modern physics.

The Quantum Universe
Professor Brian Cox teams up with regular co-writer Jeff Forshaw once again in The Quantum Universe , this time turning their attentions from the almost unimaginably large to the infinitesimally small.
As most people are aware, the familiar, predictable laws of Newtonian physics seem to break down when applied to subatomic particles, which are believed to be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Uncertainty abounds, and these particles behave in impossible, counterintuitive ways which run contrary to everything we think we know about matter.
The Quantum Universe is a fascinating foray into this mystifying world of quarks, neutrinos and the elusive Higgs Boson particles, in which Cox takes a pleasingly no-nonsense approach to this difficult subject and explains the current state of scientific knowledge with admirable clarity.
