🔍 Synopsis
Drawn from New Scientist magazine’s popular “Last Word” column, this engaging collection tackles the kind of wonderfully odd questions most of us have thought about but never properly investigated. Why don’t penguins’ feet freeze on Antarctic ice? Why do onions make us cry? What makes popcorn pop? Covering biology, physics, chemistry, psychology and environmental science, each answer is clear, concise and often surprisingly witty. The book celebrates curiosity and demonstrates how everyday mysteries reveal fascinating scientific principles. Accessible without being simplistic, it’s perfect for readers who enjoy smart, bite-sized science with a dash of humour.
