We Need to Talk About Kelvin is an excellent book, extremely interesting, informative, well written and demonstrating an enviable grasp of the research and publications of the scientists on whose work Chown draws. He simplifiies complicated topics, using readily understood examples and analogies without sacrificing accuracy. He stays close to the reality which he describes and, where simplifications have been made in the main text, adds addenda to the chapters pointing out such simplifications and explaining to what extent they depart from a strict interpretation of the facts.
Having read the book straight through, understanding but perhaps not fully absorbing its contents, it was a delight to find a comprehensive index following the main text and an extensive glossary enabling the book to be used as a reference work.
The book can be thoroughly recommended to anyone with an interest in our present understanding of how the Universe works.
