'Beard sank into a gloom of inattention, not because the planet was
in peril - that moronic word again - but because someone was
telling him it was with such enthusiasm' Michael Beard is a Nobel
prize-winning physicist whose best work is behind him. He now
spends his days speaking for enormous fees and half-heartedly
heading a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. A
compulsive womaniser, Beard finds his fifth marriage floundering.
But this time, she's having the affair. When Beard's professional
and personal worlds collide in a freak accident, an opportunity
arises for Beard to simultaneously save his marriage and the world
from environmental disaster. 'Savagely funny... Enormously
entertaining' Sunday Times 'A satirical masterpiece...it will come
to be regarded as a classic' Daily Telegraph 'A stunningly
accomplished work, possibly his best yet' Financial Times VINTAGE
EARTH is a collection of novels to transform our relationship with
