Customer Reviews

I really dug this one.

This is an excellent book if you enjoy learning about lesser-known scientific concepts and ideas. Every brief entry (most are only 2-4 pages long, while more than a few are 1-2 pages) explains a unique and novel idea in language anyone can comprehend - without patronizing, condescending, or otherwise insulting the reader.
