His book on the history of chemistry entitled Mendeleyev's Dream (2000) was short-listed for the Aventis Prize, and his works have been translated into over two dozen languages. He is the author of the best-selling The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance, Napoleon in Egypt, and The Artist, the Philosopher and the Warrior: Leonardo, Machiavelli and Borgia - a fateful collusion (2009) and The Spirit of Venice: from Marco Polo to Casanova (2012).

She lives in Vienna with her husband the German futurist and writer Matthias Horx [de], and their two sons.[
Samenvatting
Philosophy for busy people. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Descartes in just one hour. Descartes was the first modern philosopher. His scepticism led him to doubt all certainties, until finally he arrived at his famous maxim 'I think therefore I am'. He would also apply his rationalism with great effect in science and mathematics, conceiving a scheme for scientific method and inventing Cartesian co-ordinates in geometry. Descartes: Philosophy in an Hour an audiobook with an expert account of Descartes' life and philosophical ideas - entertainingly written and above all easy listening. Also included are selections from Descartes' work, suggested further reading, and chronologies that place Descartes in the context of the broader scheme of philosophy.
