The Science of Discworld II: The Globe

The Science of Discworld II: The Globe

The sequel to the bestselling Science of Discworld.

The acclaimed 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. InÂ The Science of Discworld IIÂ 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,Â The GlobeÂ presents a fascinating and brilliantly original view of the world we live in. The scene of the final epic battle is the first production ofÂ A Midsummer's Night DreamÂ at the Globe Theatre.
