Science Of The Discworld 1 and 2 |
|
The science of Roundworld (earth) as seen by the wizards of the Unseen University. It�s a novella about the latest experiment of Ponder Stibbons, and its weird results - the creation of a small universe in which magic doesn�t work. The results are fascinating - current theories of science explained in Pratchett�s relaxed style. It will make even those who dislike science enjoy reading about the creation of the universe, the solar system, earth, evolution, and more. |

With Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen |
|
Check out Rincewind�s latest adventure in the virtual suit, and the wizards� latest exploitation - they are always good for a laugh. |
|
The second novel - Science Of The Discworld 2: The Globe - is about the cultural side of our world. The pocket universe from the first book has attracted elves, and they will destroy it if the wizards won�t do something about it. The scientifical side deals more with art and history this time - items that were missed in the first book. |
