| Description: |
From the denizens of the Amazonian jungle to the microbes inside the nose, from the giant squid to the prion, there are a vast number of weird biological topics to fascinate the community of bathroom readers. This book peels back the asphalt and concrete and sees what's going on down there. |
| Synopsis: |
Plunges into the Universe is your anecdote to boring science text books. Uncle John and his loony lab partners will take you back to the Big Bang and forward to the distant future. You'll see the science in everything around (and inside) you, and learn the truth about the most egregious science myths (such as--you can't "sweat like a pig" because pigs don't sweat). How many amazing facts await your visual cortex in these 494 pages made up of atoms (print version) or bits and bytes (e-book)? As Carl Sagan would have said, "Billions and Billions!" So put on your thinking cap and check out... Pluto deniedKitchen chemistryFootball gets physics-alPlanet Earth's sudden hot flashesFood's incredible journey...through youThe science of surfing, skating, and snowboardingHow they plugged the hole in the ozone layerHow "defenseless" animals stay aliveSci-fi that's more fi than sciAncient astronomersKnow your cloudsAnd much, much more! |
