Unnatural is a beautifully written, deeply intelligent book that will force every reader to rethink at least some of their preconceptions -- Jim Endersby Sunday Telegraph The two cultures of science and art are not antagonists, divergent in their aims and mutually unintelligible: they happily cohabit inside Ball's compendious, eclectic head. -- Peter Conrad Observer A brave, sane and intellectually nimble account of a topic which only gets more ambiguous with each scientific advance. Unnatural is fascinating and engaging, and a polemic only for cool heads and open hearts when dealing with issues of such serious and profound complexity -- Stuart Kelly Scotland on Sunday Meticulous, witty and sometimes provocative -- Patrick Skene Catling Sunday Times Labelling Ball a science writer sells his writing short, for its value lies above all in a range that dissolves the awkward silences between science and the larger culture of which it is part. -- Marek Kohn Independent
