PRODUCT DETAILS
Description
A mind-bending scientific collection dispelling and debunking 50 common ‘science’ myths and oft-repeated ‘truths’ in pithy, informative sections. Setting the record straight on 50 common ‘facts’ we all think we know: expert analysis explains why the North Star is not the brightest star in the sky; goldfish do not have a three-second memory; that Teflon and Velcro are not spin-offs from the Space programme; that hair and fingernails don’t continue to grow after death; a coin dropped from the top of the Empire State Building wouldn’t necessarily kill you; and that lightning can indeed strike twice. Separate science fact from fiction with approachable science, including black-and-white diagrams and illustrations. A must-read for would-be pedants and those seeking to expand their scientific understanding.
