Books of television programmes aren’t usually that gripping, but the latest
two titles in Channel 4’s Equinox books look promising. Peter Harclerode’s
Warfare covers half a dozen documentaries such as “A Very British Bomb” and
“Russian Roulette”, the horrifying problems of making the creaking Soviet war
machine safe. Anna Grayson’s Earth covers just that, from the intriguing
“When Pigs Ruled the Earth” to “Maelstrom”. Lots of great tales, great science.
Published by Channel 4, £12.99 each.
