Review
'Admirably free of jargon or gobbledegook, the book is written in an engaging, articulate and fluent style that makes it a pleasure to read...a handsome and well bound volume...comprehensive and scholarly, yet at the same highly readable. Any student embarking on a study of the scientific romances will find it invaluable.' - The Wells Newsletter
