Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Die Redaktion des bekannten englischen naturwissenschaftlichen Wochenmagazins 'New Scientist' erhielt immer wieder Fragen von Lesern, deren Antworten sie selbst überforderte. So wurde beschlossen, diese Fragen zu veröffentlichen und die anderen Leser um Hilfe bei der Antwort zu bitten. Dass diese Seite inzwischen zu der beliebtesten der Zeitschrift gehört, verwundert nicht, wenn man die hier zusammengestellte Auswahl durchliest. Es sind nur teils witzige und skurrile Fragen, viele Fragen sind ganz 'normal', mancher hat sie sich vielleicht sogar schon selbst gestellt. Sie sind hier sachlich in 9 Kapitel eingeteilt und umfassen Biologie, Physik, Technik, Haushalt, den menschlichen Körper u.a. Zwei Beispiele für Fragen: Wann verbraucht ein Auto am wenigsten Sprit? Warum frieren Pinguine nicht an den Füßen? Ein empfehlenswertes, ebenso unterhaltsames wie witziges Werk. (2 S).…
