Title: The Origin Of (Almost) Everything
Description: Nicholas Brealey Publishing 2016 Hardback, 320pp. New Scientist. From what actually happened in the Big Bang to the accidental discovery of post-it notes, science is packed with surprising discoveries. Did you know, for instance, that if you were to get too close to a black hole it would suck you up like a noodle (it's called spaghettification), why your keyboard is laid out in QWERTY (it's not to make it easier to type) or whether the invention of the wheel was less important to civilisation than the bag (think about it). Witty essays explore the concepts alongside enlightening infographics that zoom from how many people have ever lived to showing you how a left-wing brain differs from a right-wing one. Heavy; Large; No DJ. (ISBN: 9781473629257). Very Good.
