Acclaimed The Science of Discworld 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 & Stewart non-fiction narrative about Big Science. In
The Science of Discworld II: The Globe 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. 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 The Globe 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.
