New Moments in Science

'Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.' -Adam Smith, the Wealth of Nations, 1776 Columbus never set foot in America. Piranhas are the deadliest fish. A purring cat is a happy cat. Cleopatra was insanely beautiful. All natural products are safe. Oranges are the richest source of vitamin C. You can tell a liar just by looking in their eyes. The Roswell alien autopsy proved that intelligent aliens visited us. And, Dr. Karl wears a hoodie lab coat to work every day. Some of these are true and some are not. Well, the last one is definitely not. But, inside these covers you'll find out whether there's dis information about the other wikkid myths.

In the next book in Dr Karl's mega-selling science series, Australia's favourite scientist answers more curly questions about life, the universe and everything; questions such as Are virgin births possible? (they are) Will a black hole suck you in? (it won't) Is the most radioactive device in our homes the microwave? (it's not, it's the smoke detector)No-one conveys the excitement and wonder of science quite like Dr Karl and this, his twenty-fifth book, takes us on another thoroughly entertaining exploration of the world around us. If you like your science fun and unpredictable, don't miss this new addition to the Dr Karl library.
