Explore The Wonders Of Life On Earth With This New App From Prof. Brian Cox

After taking you on a trip across the universe, HarperCollins and Prof. Brian Cox are now inviting you to take part in a journey set much closer to home. In fact, it's set right on our dear home planet, Earth. And you can experience it with the newly launched Brian Cox's Wonders of Life app for iOS.
