Author Description

Packed with hundreds of articles on the most interesting things that ever happened in science. Plus a few things that didn't. Filled with both pragmatic, commonsense explanations and outrageous revelations, Strange but True Science is packed with articles on all things scientific. Chapter subjects cover astronomy, consumer products, inventions, scientists, medicine, animals, fringe science, UFOs, and the human body. Over 300 articles drawn from every conceivable scientific subject: 3D printing, quantum teleportation, the IQ test, the science of sleep, plate tectonics, antibiotics, the science of the curveball, and whether you can really pick up radio stations via dental fillings and more. Thick hardcover book, 632 pages. Great gift for voracious science readers!
