Philip Ball is a celebrated and prolific science writer with 20 books to his name on a staggering breadth of topics.
He's written books about physics in Nazi Germany, pattern formation in nature, invisibility, and colour in art. His most popular book Critical Mass: How One Things Leads to Another examines social and economic phenomenon through mathematical models, looking at everything from Catastrophe Theory to the Prisoners Dilemma.
