Title: Inaccurate and Unnecessary
Review: The first page I turned to in this book had the facts wrong. On page 126 McLain says that Isaac Asimov "did not write lengthy books." Well, I have on my desk Asimov's Biographical Encyclopedia of Science & Technology, and it is over 800 pages. So his research is sloppy. "Do Fish Drink Water" is a collection of miscellaneous facts, which was once a popular type of reference book. But in the Internet era, Google has rendered such books unnecessary; there is no fact in McLain's book that you can't find faster and with more up-to-date information with a quick online search.So why bother to read it or for that matter write it?
