The popular comedian and presenter journeys through science, explaining why it should be for everyone - including enthusiastic amateurs.

Comedian Robin Ince quickly abandoned science at school, bored by a fog of dull lessons and intimidated by the barrage
of equations. 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.
In 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.
