But helping Theseus kill the monster means betraying her family and country\, and Ariadne knows only too well that in a world ruled by mercurial gods – drawing their attention can cost you everything. \n\n\n\nIn a world where women are nothing more than the pawns of powerful men\, will Ariadne’s decision to betray Crete for Theseus ensure her happy ending? Or will she find herself sacrificed for her lover’s ambition? \n\n\n\nAriadne gives a voice to the forgotten women of one of the most famous Greek myths\, and speaks to their strength in the face of angry\, petulant Gods. Beautifully written and completely immersive\, this is an exceptional debut novel.

But\, twenty years later\, he fell in love and he now presents one of the world’s most popular science podcasts. Every year he meets hundreds of the world’s greatest thinkers. \n\n\n\nIn this erudite and witty book\, Robin reveals why scientific wonder isn’t just for the professionals. Filled with interviews featuring astronauts\, comedians\, teachers\, quantum physicists\, neuroscientists and more – as well as charting Robin’s own journey with science – The Importance of Being Interested explores why many wrongly think of the discipline as distant and difficult. From the glorious appeal of the stars above to why scientific curiosity can encourage much needed intellectual humility\, this optimistic and profound book will leave you filled with a thirst for intellectual adventure. \n\n\n\nRobin Ince is the co-creator and presenter of the BBC Radio 4 show The Infinite Monkey Cage\, which has won multiple awards include the Sony Gold and Rose d’Or.
