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

“When Pigs Ruled the Earth” to “Maelstrom”. Lots of great tales, great science.
Published by Channel 4, £12.99 each.
