Adam Spencer's Time Machine
Starting with the Big Bang and ending in the present day, Australia's favourite mathematician is back with a wild ride through the ages.
Did you know that some of the earliest astronomers were Indigenous Australians? Or that Lord Byron's daughter, Ada Lovelace, was a pioneer of computer programming...despite dying in 1852? Can you believe that pinball was actually illegal across much of the US until the 1970s? And who or what is the Witch of Agnesi?
All this and more is in Adam Spencer's Time Machine. Jam-packed with fascinating facts, quizzes, anecdotes and trivia, this full-colour geek's guide is the perfect companion for curious minds.
