Testimonials

Preston’s accessible writing style, enthusiasm and optimism succeed at informing as well as tickling readers’ imaginations.
Publishers Weekly

Ably distilling complicated science into digestible portions, Preston’s balance of wonkiness and wide appeal is also ‘just right’ and suited for anyone who’s interested in the Curiosity rover’s exploits on Mars and wants to learn more.
Booklist

Fascinating…It’s a compelling book to read at this moment, as man-made climate change is throwing planetary systems off balance. In her brief history of the Earth, and of the other rocks that hurtle around space with us, Preston shows just how very lucky we are to live on a planet that is – for now at least – just right.

Louisa is that rare breed – a brilliant academic who can effortlessly communicate her subject with clarity, authority and warmth to us all. A fascinating overview of what is simply the most profound and exciting story in science.
