In an unabashed celebration of the exceptional, David Darling takes an enlightening journey through the universe's weirdest and most wonderful extremes.
Travel to far-flung galaxies in pursuit of habitable planets and extra-terrestrial life.
Journey to the rainforests of South America and discover the top-speed of the notoriously sluggish sloth.
