Über das Buch

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.

Well...this is the second or third Terry Pratchett book I've ever read and I remember that I liked the other(s?) but this one simply wasn't for me I think. I didn't really feel as if the story was going somewhere and the science part, even though funny from time to time, was quite confusing hopping back and forth and a big part of it just felt like somebody read something somewhere and retells it in a sloppier way. I'll try the third part of the series though, maybe it was just that book which I didn't like ;)
