This is a good kind of book for reading in those spaces of time where you don't really have time to read. I could do with more books like it. It's a compendium of a hundred of Steve Jones's newspaper science articles (from the Daily Telegraph I think) and makes for interesting and thought provoking interludes without needing to engage your brain too deeply.
Borrowed.

I love Steve Jones work… but I always have to engage my brain deeply! You clearly get your intellect from your mother!! I’ve been listening to him read his new book ‘Coral’ this week on radio 4 and it takes all my concentration to keep up with him
This book sounds good though so must try and read it sometime.
