«As Rovelli's fans will expect, this book is excellent. It is never less than engaging, and enviably compendious»
Tim Smith-Laing, The Telegraph
«Bestselling physicist Carlo Rovelli argues in this enjoyable and provocative little book that a little-known Greek philosopher invented the idea of the cosmos »
Tim Adams, Observer
«Carlo Rovelli’s Anaximander is a knockout: there’s nobody like Rovelli for bridging the Two Cultures, and I was enlarged by his lucid, optimistic account, full of fascinating historical nuggets, of what scientists do and why it’s exciting»
Sam Leith, TLS , Best Books of the Year
«Rovelli is a very good scientist and a very good writer. He explains some of the most conceptually difficult and densest areas of physics lightly and breezily. Here, he tells the story of an ancient thinker who had a revolutionary idea about the Earth's place in the cosmos»
Tom Whipple, The Times
«Anaximander is a delight and so is this book »
James McConnachie, Sunday Times
«A celebration of the scientific spirit of inquiry and the remarkable achievements of one man more than 2,500 years ago»
John Sellars, TLS
