The Science of Why, Volume 3: Answers to Questions About Science Myths, Mysteries, and Marvels (3) (The Science of Why series) Reviews
-
I haven't read the first two volumes in The Science of Why series, but I hardly think that matters. This fun science book features 36 articles answering questions like, "Why do people stick out their tongue?" and "How do mosquitoes bite without my noticing?" Some of the answers are more interesting than others, but you're sure to have a least a few moments where you stick your nose out over the book to say to whoever is nearby, "Did you know...?!"

Jay is as informative as he is entertaining, like usual. Lots of juicy info to ponder & digest.
