Title: Bathroom book
Review: This is OK as a bathroom book -- it's full of very short blurbs on various science topics, inventors, and discoveries.It is pretty good as a jumping-off point -- if you have a vague curiosity about something, this book can help direct your next google search.This is not good enough for use in a home school curriculum; I suspect most homeschoolers would do a better job on these topics.FWIW, this author is a True! Believer! in man-made climate change, all evidence to the contrary not withstanding. There is delicious irony on pages 276 - 280 as we learn about (first) environmental destruction (The! World! Is! Dying! and! It's! Your! Fault!), and then transition on the next page into "the blight of bad science," with this warning: "stifle the spirit of enquiry, and you can bring scientific progress to a halt..." Delicious.The author has also written a book on Darwin, and saves a little venom for creation-minded people.Anyway, good book for the shelf in the bathroom. Enjoyable!
