Picked this up at my library out of curiosity. It promises short tidbits of interesting scientific facts, and it does exactly that. There are over 100 segments, covering a wide array of categories, so I feel most people of any background would be able to find something in here that intrigues them.

Each segment is only a page long, occasionally two at most. This makes it an incredibly easy and relaxing read. At the end of each topic, the author also includes a short list of citations, telling the reader where they can look into the information further (generally 1-3 links), which I found to be helpful, as there were some things I learned in this book that I would love to look further into.

It's not a book that's meant to be read linearly. The topics don't build off of each other, so skipping around to the titles that spark interest is really the best way to read this IMO.

I think it's a good read, and would recommend it. :)

Fave segments:
"Can a Theory Evolve Into A Law?"
"Wrong Name!"
"Dog Facial Expressions and Humans"
"Bad Grades and Biological Clocks"
"Antimatter"
