What are neutrinos? Why does nature need them? What use are they? Neutrinos are perhaps the most enigmatic particles in the universe. Formed in certain radioactive decays they pass through most matter with ease. These tiny ghostly particles are formed in millions in the Sun & pass through us constantly. For a long time they were thought to be massless & passing as they do like ghosts they were not regarded as significant. Now we know they have a very small mass & there are strong indications that they are very important indeed. It is speculated that a heavy form of neutrino that is both matter & antimatter may have shaped the balance of matter & antimatter in the early universe. Here Frank Close gives an account of the discovery of neutrinos & our growing understanding of their significance also touching on some speculative ideas concerning the possible uses of neutrinos & their role in the early universe. ...

From ancient times wolves have been mythologised as ferocious & predatory beasts. In Never Cry Wolf conservationist Farley Mowat sets out to correct the stereotypes. Using his observations of a Canadian wolf pack Mowat paints a sensitive picture of the wolf as a mild tempered & graceful animal with strong familial bonds & a taste for small prey rather than livestock. Whilst the scientific basis of some of Mowats conclusions has been contested this affectionate & humorous account provides an intimate understanding of wolf behaviour & has provoked readers to fight for the preservation of these majestic creatures. This fascinating study marked a watershed in attitudes proving that the wolf bears little resemblance to the gluttonous villain of childrens fairy tales or to the gothic werewolf. ...
