Show Me the Science: Life?s Biggest Questions and How Science Answers Them

Children are invited to apply a scientific mindset to questions about control, work, vaccines, gender brains, pandemics, and the planet.

Never Mind the B#ll*cks, Here’s the Science is Professor Luke O’Neill’s biggest runaway bestseller in which he grapples with life's biggest questions and tells us what science has to say about them. Now adapted for children, Show Me the Science asks the same questions - Do we have control over our lives? Can we escape working in terrible jobs? Why do we need vaccinations? Are men’s and women's brains different? Will we destroy the planet? - and encourages children to apply a scientific mindset in attempting to answer them.

Covering topics from global pandemics to artificial intelligence, this is a celebration of science and all the brilliant answers it can offer us for a budding generation of professors!
