Review
'A thrill-ride for curious minds.' John Rennie, editor-in-chief of Scientific American. 'Robert Matthews has done a heroic job in revealing the science behind a broad and entertaining range of questions that real people ask, from whether it is better to walk in the rain than run (no, just about) to whether there is a universal definition of left and right (yes). Ideal fodder for the curious mind.' Roger Highfield, author of Can Reindeer Fly? The Science of Christmas and The Science of Harry Potter: How Magic Really Works.
