Informazioni sull?autore
Tim James is the child of Welsh/English and Jamaican parents. He was raised in Nigeria, educated in England and lives in America where he is frequently mistaken for an Australian. He taught chemistry and physics for eleven years and now works full-time as an author and screenwriter. Sometimes he has a beard.
Tim is the author of five science titles and his books have been translated into eleven languages. Accidental was nominated for the best popular science book of 2024 by Smart Book, a Polish competition endorsed by the prestigious Jagiellonian University and the renowned Copernicus Festival.
