The science of why : answers to questions about the world around us / Jay Ingram.

Have you ever wondered if people really do weird things during the full moon? How about whether fingernails grow faster than toenails? And do we really dream in colour? Jay Ingram is here to put these and many other long-lived scientific uncertainties to rest in this whimsically illustrated guide to the science of everyday life. This new collection features answers to common queries with part sections that address the supernatural, the human body, the animal kingdom, the natural world and more. It also includes science history lessons, fun facts, myth busters and line drawings. Canadian author
