Do Polar Bears Get Lonely?
Yet another wonderfully idiosyncratic, bonkers yet wholly fascinating selection of questions and answers pulled together by Mick O'Hare from the New Scientist magazine's hugely popular Last Word column. Do Polar Bears Get Lonely?: And 101 Other Intriguing Science Questions follows close on the heels of the hugely popular science hits Why Don't Penguins' Feet Freeze? How to Fossilise Your Hamster and Does Anything Eat Wasps? -- and it is just as good as its excellent predecessors.
What all these books do so well is to show that science isn't a dry, rarefied, boring set of procedures that happens behind the closed doors of laboratories but, rather, is the practice of understanding just exactly what makes the world go round, and just exactly how all the pieces of the jigsaw of the universe fit together. Learning all these crazy facts about the world is absolutely fascinating, and Do Polar Bears Get Lonely? is a great place to start finding things out.
So, get a copy of Do Polar Bears Get Lonely? and learn: why does garlic make your breath smell? how many germs are there on a coin? what makes you left-handed or right-handed? do fish get thirsty? And does it matter which lottery numbers you choose? (The answer to the latter being a tentative yes!) by Mark Thwaite
