The Science Of Discworld II

<p>Acclaimed <i>The Science of Discworld</i> centred around an original Pratchett story about the wizards of Discworld. In it they accidentally witnessed the creation and evolution of our universe a plot which was interleaved with a Cohen &amp; Stewart non-fiction narrative about Big Science. <br><br>In <i>The Science of Discworld II: The Globe</i> our authors join forces again to see just what happens when the wizards meddle with history in a battle against the elves for the future of humanity on Earth. London is replaced by a dozy Neanderthal village. The Renaissance is given a push. The role of fat women in art is developed. And one very famous playwright gets born and writes The Play. <br><br>Weaving together a fast-paced Discworld novelette with cutting-edge scientific commentary on the evolution and development of the human mind culture language art and science <i>The Globe</i> presents a fascinating and brilliantly original view of the world we live in. The scene of the final epic battle is the first production of A Midsummer's Night Dream at the Globe Theatre.</p>
