Colonial Technology Science and the Transfer of Innovation to Australia Book

Here is a book that is filled with interesting science trivia. As the author points out, it’ll give you something to talk about at the next party you feel safe to attend.

The fun part is how the author presents each tidbit as a trivia question. How are two items related or why does a product have a certain warning, for example. There isn’t a story here, just 199 interesting vignettes of science.

Another audience for the book would be science curious kids. There is a lot here for them to see the wonder of science in both history and everyday life.
