Publisher's summary

The Doctor likes to talk. A lot. About anything and everything and frequently about things that make no sense to mere human brains. Here he explains some of the trickier concepts of time, space, Time Lord technology and the mysteries of the universe. This Doctor's dictionary is invaluable for budding time travellers and intergalactic companions.
