"A superb, gripping narrative-Temple is that rare kind of author who can stir the magic within you" (Manchester Evening News)
"The focus is as wide, and as deep, as civilisation itself- frighteningly clever" (Sunday Times)
"Robert Temple's fascinating book should be read by all who have an interest in the history of science, and may well cause a revolution in this subject" (Sir Arthur C. Clarke)
