'Praise for Paul Martin'

"Martin is a highly civilised, witty scientist, who seasons his text with many examples from literature… He is interesting, informative and a pleasure to read."
ANTHONY STORR, 'Sunday Times'

"Martin is an exceptional writer, a biologist who not only writes clearly and interestingly about his own subjects, but also is widely read in literature and history and uses illustrations from many sources. He, in the very best way, popularizes science."
RICHARD MAYOU, 'THES'

"Martin's benignly infectious enthusiasm for his subject is remarkable."
ALAN JUDD, 'Daily Telegraph'

"Martin is the best kind of science writer, explaining his points clearly and illustrating them with telling literary examples."
KIT SPRING, 'Observer'
