And Other Science Conundrums
There are lots of fun - and bizarre - questions out there that have scientific answers, and Ben Selinger has answered many of these on his radio program 'Dial a scientist' and in his regular newspaper column. This is a collection of the most interesting, intriguing and downright strange topics he has covered.
Ben brings his slightly zany sense of humour to each answer as he discusses the science of the every-day occurrences and conundra that pique our curiosity, answering questions such as "How do they make lipstick?" and "Is using aluminium saucepans bad for your health?".
