From the reviews:Steve Miller is a professor at UCL and an accomplished speaker at the RAS … . He's written a book I'm pleased to recommend for its light touch and humour … and, above all, for his willingness to explain. After a most enjoyable read, I had quite a bit to think about and there is a useful section of recommended further reading. (Roger O'Brien, Journal of the British Astronomical Association, Vol. 122 (1), 2012)This is another book aiming to summarize 13 billion years of cosmic history in relatively few pages. … Recent discoveries of potentially life-supporting niches in the solar system, as well as the numerous recently discovered exoplanets, are described in broad strokes. The index and annotated bibliography are helpful, and the volume includes many rarely seen and well-chosen illustrations. Suitable for lay readers … . Summing Up: Recommended. General audiences. (T.

(T. R. Blackburn, Choice, Vol. 49 (10), June, 2012) "The book might well inspire A-level students or their teachers to see the Universe as a place with many very interesting chemistry problems." (Mike Edmunds, The Observatory, Vol. 132 (1230), October, 2012), From the reviews: "The Chemical Cosmos: A Guided Tour is an astronomy book about chemistry - or perhaps a chemistry book about astronomy. ... well-structured and unifies a number of different elements of astronomy. Miller is careful to explain the technical vocabulary that you need to discuss the subject. The writing is clear and he has a light and humorous touch. ... I enjoyed reading the book and learned a number of new things. I think anyone with an interest in astronomy or chemistry would find it interesting."
