A book by science author Brian Clegg, How Many Moons Does The Earth Have?, is being described as the "pub quiz bible" for anyone enthusiastic or curious about science.

Clegg studied physics at Cambridge University and specialises in "making the strangest aspects of the universe – from infinity to time travel and quantum theory – accessible to the general reader".

His previous books include Science for Life, Light Years, Inflight Science, Build Your Own Time Machine, and The Quantum Age.
