THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING INTERESTED - ROBIN INCE...

Comedian Robin Ince quickly abandoned science at school  bored by a fog of dull lessons and
intimidated by the barrage of equations. But  twenty years later  he fell in love and he now
presents one of the world's most popular science podcasts. Every year he meets hundreds of the
world's greatest thinkers. In this erudite and witty book  Robin reveals why scientific wonder
isn't just for the professionals. Filled with interviews featuring astronauts  comedians 
teachers  quantum physicists  neuroscientists and more - as well as charting Robin's own
journey with science - The Importance of Being Interested explores why many wrongly think of
the discipline as distant and difficult. From the glorious appeal of the stars above to why
scientific curiosity can encourage much needed intellectual humility  this optimistic and
profound book will leave you filled with a thirst for intellectual adventure.
