Newton was a natural philosopher (the word "scientist" had not yet been coined)
who described a planetary system held together by gravitational forces. His "Principia" changed
science forever; gravity not only explained the orbits of stars, it explained common earthly events
as well. Newton established a way of thinking that still shapes our everyday understanding of
how the world works.

The Science and Discovery series recreates one of history's most successful journeys: four thousand
years of scientific efforts to better understand and control the physical world. Science has often
challenged and upset conventional wisdom or accepted practices; this is a story of vested interests
and independent thinkers, experiments and theories, change and progress.

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
