    Does anyone know if there's such a thing as a science audio book? It would be amazing to have an audio version of something like cosmos to listen to on a walk.

    Not sure about Cosmos but most books these days have audio editions. I like them but I can't really listen to them unless they're narrated by the author.

    The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins.
    A Brief History of Nearly Everything by Bill Byrson.
    The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene.

    Are all science audio books that you can buy. There are tonnes of other ones too, you just have to look. I recommend getting the unabridged versions even though they are more expensive. Also, such is the nature of science that some books require the use of diagrams to illustrate a point for that reason I would recommend caution when it comes to physics and maths popular science audiobooks.
