The Science of Why, Volume 5

Answers to Questions About the Ordinary, the Odd, and the Outlandish

by Jay Ingram

Description

Have you ever wondered if octopuses are from outer space? What Mexican jumping beans are? Or if banana peels are really slippery?

If questions like these are keeping you up at night, you can rest easy. Bestselling author Jay Ingram is here to answer all the whimsical and whacky wonderings that have baffled people since the dawn of time. From our bodies to our pets (and other beasts) to the natural world around us, Ingram tackles science topics big and small, such as:
Did dinosaurs sit on their eggs?
What is our funny bone?
Is there a specific muscle that makes dogs cute?


Because who hasn’t pondered whether plants have feelings? Or if Robin Hood was a real person? Or what humans will look like in the future?


Teeming with amusing answers to bemusing questions and handy and hilarious illustrations this latest volume separates fact from fiction, lesson from legend, and myth from marvel. Endlessly illuminating and entertaining, The Science of Why, Volume 5 is five times the fun for new and old readers of the series.
