Reviews / Votes
"Illustrated infographic ride through everything from neap tides and naked mole rats, to whale falls, the human heart, the Uncertainty Principle and why glaciers are like Snickers bars." -- The Bookseller "The book is divided into three sections: Life Science, Earth Science and Physical Science. All of this is with suitable examples and a few funny ones to see if you're paying attention. Don't treat this book as comprehensive but I think you'll find a lot of the information will stick in your heads afterwards." -- SFcrowsnestMore details
