|comment=I just wanted to thank Judy Davies for the fantastic review she has given my book ''Why Icebergs float: exploring science in everyday life''
I don’t know Judy , but she has obviously grasped the point of the book. She understands who it is intended for and what their needs are. I have had reviews from, scientists and popular science writers who quibble about minor facts of detail (sometimes legitimately) but completely miss what it is that interests the ‘person in the street’ and the level at which they want to engage with science.
I applaud Judy’s insight into the book and her refreshing way of expressing it to the wider public. She wishes she had me as her science teacher – I wish there were more people like her, willing to look at science afresh as an adult, whatever their feelings about the subject as they had previously encountered it.
