See the world differently this January by picking up one of our fascinating new non-fiction books....
Weird Science!
Farmer Buckley's Exploding Trousers and Other Odd Events on the Way to Scientific Discovery
Not your average tales of scientific discovery, these are bizarre accidents and deadly experiments gone very wrong...and then right...and then sometimes wrong again.
The Periodic Table
A Chemist by profession, Primo Levi recounts these haunting short-stories from events in his own life using the periodic elements as analogies for difficult subjects like love, loss, learning and not least his astonishing survival through Auschwitz. Truly unique.
The Particle at the End of the Universe: The Hunt for the Higgs and the Discovery of a New World
A complete insight from a scientist involved in the strange isolation, rivalry and risky but world-changing discovery that goes on at the site of the Large Hadron Collider to find the Higgs Boson particle (considered by some to be the last unverified Standard Model of particle physics)!
A Universe From Nothing: Why There is Something Rather Than Nothing
A mind bending question indeed, one that has puzzled religious, theologist and scientific thinkers throughout history. In the search for answers Krauss takes the reader back to the beginning of the beginning...of the beginning? to contemplate the end....?
Can you Solve My problems? A Casebook of Ingenious, Perplexing and Totally Satisfying Puzzles
Wouldn't that be nice? This book looks at how life is just not that simple by exploring the stories behind riddles, pangrams and conundrums from ancient China to the modern day that only the very few have the logical thought to master. Are you part of the 2%?
