Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.82
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

"How big is infinity? How small is an electron? When will the Sun destroy the Earth? How fast is a nerve impulse in your brain? Why can't you see inside a black hole? What's the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth? What's the furtherest you can see on a clear night? "From atoms to infinity' takes you on a journey from the furtherest reaches of the known Universe to the tiniest particles that make up life on Earth. With their characteristic flair and unrivalled clarity, world-renowned science authors Mary and John Gribbin explore how our telescopes can see 10 billion years into the past, and why a thimbleful of a neutron star would contains as much mass as all the people on Earth put together. Incredible and thought-provoking, this is a trip at break-neck speed from the infinitesimal to the vast - everything you always wanted to know about science's most amazing discoveries." -- back cover.
