Books
In September 2006 Chris Smith published Naked Science, his first book, which is an anthology of science stories based on the material presented on The Naked Scientists. This was followed, in September 2008, by "Crisp Packet Fireworks", a collection of 50 science experiments to try at home using every-day ingredients found in the average kitchen. This title, which was co-authored with Naked Scientist colleague David Ansell and published by New Holland, was initially launched across in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. In January 2010 it was also published across South Africa by Struik and Random House under the title "Maverick Science", and launched in the US in April 2010 as "Spectacular Science".
In December 2008 Chris also published a sequel to "Naked Science", "The Return of the Naked Scientist", with Random House in Australia and New Zealand. He recently released a fourth book, Stripping Down Science, also with Random House Australia, in December 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
—Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“I think the adjective “post-modernist” really means “mannerist.” Books about books is fun but frivolous.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
