Product Information
‘One may be surprised at what can be learned from this book. The level of research and the ease to which it is explored suggests a thorough and expert level of knowledge on Frizzell’s part. Who would have thought that more can be learned from a celebrated painter than from years at high school! Perhaps there is opportunity for a spin off science career for the renowned painter. If The Sun Is a Star: A voyage through the universe is anything to go by, then options are endless — and to the betterment of us all.’ — Chris Reed, NZ Booklovers
