1.		Bad Science from Fourth Estate Ltd Price: £6.49 Customer Review: I bought this book because I thought it would be a good idea to have an antidote to all the scare stories we read in the media. I was not disappointed. The descriptions of how trials and research should be done were excellent and easy to read and understand. It really helps to counteract the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Why Don't Penguins' Feet Freeze?: And 114 Other Questions from Profile Books Ltd Price: £3.09 Customer Review: The book is an assemblage of good answers to some good questions. So why didn't I enjoy it? I think because in keeping faith with the contributors of answers, several answers to one question are included and a lot of each answer is the same, though expressed slightly differently. So... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		How to Fossilise Your Hamster: And Other Amazing Experiments For The Armchair Scientist from Profile Price: £1.99 Customer Review: I've had this book for a little while, I loved reading the experiments even though I didn't try them. I've put the book aside for my grandchildren, who at 7 and 6 are embryonic 'Blue Peter kids' who are just going to love having a go at the experiments contained within. They don't own a hamster,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Food for Free (Collins GEM) from Collins Price: £4.99 Customer Review: I do like a bit of hedgerow and it's great to enjoy the free gifts from Mother Nature, but until I got my hands on a copy of this pocket sized guide, it was a little unclear. This book is ideal and helps you understand what's under your nose in the gardens! So many common plants can be used in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Does Anything Eat Wasps?: And 101 Other Questions (New Scientist) from Profile Books Ltd Price: £4.94 Customer Review: I bought this after buying Schotts Original Miscellany, a great little book of random, possibly in the large part useless but interesting facts. I have to say that I was disappointed. There are some good facts for sure, but maybe its just me, i'm not really "that" interested in the answers. And... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		A Short History of Nearly Everything from Black Swan Price: £5.99 Customer Review: This book makes fascinating reading and is written in a humorous and easy-to-read style. My only complaint is that the author tends to skip over the scientific discoveries of the 18th and 19th centuries rather quickly and then spends most of his time on the 20th century and mainly American... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Quirkology: The Curious Science of Everyday Lives from Pan Books Price: £5.44 Customer Review: This is a very enjoyable book based on interesting psychological research. It reveals many fascinating things. People whose names became Den are more likely than average to become dentists and people whose names begin law are more likely than average to become lawyers. There are more murders than... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Jupiter's Travels from Penguin Price: £6.94 Customer Review: I really enjoyed reading the first part of this book as Ted travelled down through Africa. He seemed focussed on the journey ahead, seemed interested in all the contrasting people around him and included lots of detail about his bike. From South America onwards however, he seemed to lose interest in... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
