Full of lavish illustrations in beautiful colour -- though not of course of dark matter and dark energy -- it is a first-class overview for the non-specialist, with enough meaty detail for scientists too. --New Scientist
For anyone who was intrigued by Bang!, Dark Side of the Universe is the perfect way to delve deeper into 21st century astronomy. --Brian May (Queen)
I particularly enjoyed how Nicolson explores topics that take a back seat in the main stream media. --Monica Bobra, Sky and Telescope
-- a broad, clear and precise overview of our current understanding of dark matter and dark energy --. It is a challenge to try to make these apparently obscure concepts familiar to any motivated reader without a scientific background. But the author, Iain Nicolson, has been entirely successful in his enterprise. With a pleasant balance between text and colourful illustrations, he guides the reader through a fascinating, invisible and mysterious world that manifests its presence by shaping galaxies and the universe itself. --CERN Courier

Formerly Principal Lecturer in Astronomy at the University of
Hertfordshire, he now writes full time from the west coast of Scotland,
where he and his wife enjoy being part of a relaxed island community, the
rugged splendour of their surroundings, sailing, walking, and - when the
clouds clear away - crisp, dark starry skies.
