The Scale of Things
Great book - thanks for recommending it - my husband also really enjoyed it. Should be in every waiting room lol - and May come in handy one evening at the quiz!
Looking for a great gift? How about a signed copy of The Scale of Things by local Bexhill on Sea author Mike Fairbrass who along with David Tanguy created this absolute gem. .
"If the Sun is the size of a Grapefruit, the Earth is a grain of sand, then the distance between the two is a London bus. Scale is intriguing. Scale is everywhere. Scale is our experience of the world, from our perception of time to physical distance to weights and measures. The human scale is 1:1, the point of reference. Everything is designed around it. Wealth is an example of scale, so is a sculpture, a building, a planet or a molecule. Scale is a universal and timeless subject. It's a BIG subject. The Scale of Things brings together facts and figures in a visual way, embracing popular science, space, economics, politics, geography, nature, technology and architecture in an accessible and entertaining way. Fun and informative, it will change the way you look at the world around you."
