Science strives ever onwards in search of the answers to the big questions. Is there a grand unifying theory (GUT) of everything, is the Higgs Boson the key to this theory etc. But day to day the questions that people want to know the answers to are things like 'why is the sky blue?' and 'does hot water freeze more quickly than cold water?'. And this is the book to find answers to lots of questions that you really want to know. The questions and answers all come from a column called 'The last word' in the New Scientist magazine, and this book is a follow up to an earlier book in a very similar vein. Interesting and funny.
