Are Angels Ok?
A collaboration between NZ physicists and writers, featuring a creative essay by Jo Randerson.

'...an entertaining collaboration between NZ writers and physicists. Margaret Mahy, Glenn Colquhoun, Elizabeth Knox and others weave stories around the world of quarks, anti-matter, wave particle duality and such like. It sounds complex, and occasionally it is, though it succeeds in making science interesting, intelligible and even whimsical. A fine collection of creative writing that delves into the mysteries of the universe through very human avenues.'
Mary de Ruyter, CITYMIX

'Manhire has done an outstanding job of bringing in a range of first-rate writers, from Catherine Chidgey and Margaret Mahy to Lloyd Jones and Witi Ihimaera. There's really nothing here I'm not extremely glad to have read, and Callaghan's closing essay on science, scientific thinking and the experience of working with Vincent O'Sullivan and Jo Randerson rounds the book out perfectly.'
David Larsen, The Listener
