Chronicle In Favor Of Books Why Can't Elephants Jump?: And 113 Other Tantalising Science Questions (New Scientist Last Word #6)

Unsurprising, as all these books go. As a serial reader of quite interesting facts (as well as a devoted fan of QI) I could wish there was less repetition -- both within a book when similar principles govern multiple answers to questions or several people have different but very closely related answers to a given question, and between books.

Still, reading enough of these -- in my experience, anyway -- you quickly learn to identify the questions that will have quite interesting answers, and skip the rest. It's all loosely organised into broad categories, too, so if there's something you're really not interested in or which you're gonna be above the level of due to your job/degree/whatever, you can skip that.

I always enjoy these little books - sometimes it's the gratification of knowing the answer, or having some of my knowledge refreshed, or learning something new.

i just realized that i spent 10 months reading this book LOL. its a lovely book actually, gives scientific answers to questions i never thought about. My biology teacher recommended it for me and im really grateful. I LOVE SCIENCE PEOPLE!!!

Another throughly enjoyable book in the New Scientist's Last Word series. I was amazed, fascinated, educated and amused. I find that despite the small size of these books, they take me a while to read because of all the information I'm taking in. I most definitely will read any other books in this series I can get my hands on!

As a Trivia lover, this funny books with many "scientifical answers" was easy to read and pretty interesting, is perfect to have in the bathroom.Come amante del trivial pursuit questo libro che risponde ad un sacco di domande strane ma scientifiche, è stato facile da leggere e piuttosto interessante, come l'edipeo enciclopedico della settimana enigmistica. E' il volume perfetto da lasciare in bagno.THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND OPEN ROAD FOR THE PREVIEW

Why Can't Elephants Jump? contains questions and answers submitted by readers of New Scientist magazine. Each submission is signed with the name and location of the person who wrote in, although there are times when the submission is anonymous. While this doesn't always give us an idea of the expertise of the author (some of the writers sign with their job title, and are indeed experts), it does give the reader the advantage of having many different answers from different angles.Some of the

One of my favorite book series, it is fun, informative, and in short wonderful. I found many questions that I asked myself and forget to lookup or simply was too lazy to. This series is amazing as a short read, and is structured in the such a way that you can just read little bits and pieces of it every time your bored or have some free time on your hand.
