Review # 1 was written on 2018-07-27 00:00:00 Tal Reis A fun look at the science behind eating, cooking, tools, grocery shopping, and other areas of our daily life. I learned a few tricks along the way, such as why you should let roasts sit after roasting them (conduction of heat from the hotter outer portion to the cooler inner portion allows for a more evenly cooked piece of meat), and why you should drill a lead hole before driving in a nail (the nail parts the wood when it's hammered in, meaning that the wood is in contact with less of the wood and is therefore easier to remove).

Review # 2 was written on 2009-05-29 00:00:00 Arrenia Dory There is very little really to add to this book review that is not already said in its write up. It is basically a series of papers on various everyday subjects from how house hold tools work to counting up your grocery bill. THe science is accessible and interesting and is presented on subjects which most if not all of us will recognise and understand - and to me that is the best type of science, the type you do not realise is there - but once you do know its there you feel intrigued to learn more.
