Synopsis

Discusses such topics as food and nutrition, the animal world, and weather and climate

Reviews

In the same style as the New York Public Library Desk Reference ( LJ 7/89), this book assembles 1500 reference questions and answers from the science/technology reference desk at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Grouped into chapters by subject (animals, chemistry, computers, earth, health, mathematics, space, etc.), the questions include such novelties as "What is a bungee cord?"; "How fast is a snail's pace?"; "Where is Albert Einstein's brain?"; "What is acid rain?"; and "Who invented the computer mouse?" The book is fun and useful but not encyclopedic. You can find information on the Mount St. Helens volcano but not on Hawaii's volcanoes; good sources of vitamin C but not of A, B, or E; and symptoms of AIDS but not of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Some questions seem odd, e.g., "Which Black American invented a dust pan?" (not indexed under "Black Americans" but only under "Inventions--dustpan innovation"). With new editions scheduled for every three years, this source is useful for school and public libraries. Some libraries may want to buy an extra copy for checkout, as it's fun for browsing.
