I especially appreciate the annotated bibliography for each chapter. Not only does Ingram list general and popular science books, but also the actual academic journals in which much of the relevant research was published. Not necessary for all readers, but extremely helpful for those who wish to read about a certain topic in greater depth. About: The science of common things around us in our lives. Who gets the armrests on planes, how smart bees are, why we yawn and blink, why humans walk on two legs, why do teddy bears look like they do, the dynamics of bathroom behavior, why geese fly in V's are just some of the topics covered Some things I learned: Bugs always swarm over an object like a stalk of corn or beer can We aren't sure why we yawn Quills in the feathers of flying birds are always off to one side You'll usually get less if you run in the rain Bees are really smart People usually wait longer to interrupt someone if the tip of their tongue is sticking out (as in concentration) Pros: Very interesting, bite-sized chapters, well written and engaging, further reading section at end. If you like Mythbusters, you'll probably like this book. Cons: Some topics aren't really "everyday" life Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

This is a smorgasbord of odd questions that you may have wondered about. Could be a book for parents, so they could have an answer to at least have an answer to some of the questions a child would ask. ( )
