THE SCIENCE OF DISCWORLD II: THE GLOBE by Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart & Jack Cohen

The planet Earth has picked up a parasite life form - elves.

They get everywhere.  And they like humans to be superstitious, fearful and frightened of thunder.  They're after our future and must be stopped...but by who?

Enter the wizards of the Unseen University who, in the bestselling Science of Discworld unwittingly created Earth and our own universe.  At the time they quite failed to notice humanity. (Well, we've only been around for a million years, so we're easily overlooked...) But now, at last, they've found us.

The Globe is a unique book, weaving together a fast-paced Discworld novelette with cutting-edge scientific commentary on the evolution and development of the human mind, culture, language, art, and science.  The result - as the wizards grapple with the nature of Good and Evil, and history is rewritten several times over - is a fascinating and brilliantly original view of the world we live in.

Soft cover, excellent condition.  367 pages, all intact.
