Autobiography: arts & entertainment; Autobiography: science, technology & engineering; Biography - Australian

Robyn Williams, presenter of The Science Show on ABC Radio, reveals all in Turmoil, a searingly honest and often blackly funny reflection on his life, friends, the people he loves and loathes, and a multi-faceted career that includes over 40 years on radio.

Robyn writes frankly about everything - from performing with Monty Python, his impressions of fellow scientists Richard Dawkins and David Attenborough, his unique insights on climate change and the recent devaluing of science, to frugality and being treated for bowel cancer.

"An unblinking and highly readable biography by the greatest science broadcaster of our times." - Tim Flannery
