Ford, Brian J. — 101 questions about science

BCA. Book club edition, originally published by Hamish Hamilton. Fine. Fine. "Should mankind eat a vegetarian diet? No." Not always as dogmatic as this statement, this book is punchy and engaging (like its author, whose vignette by Brian Bagnall appears within a retort on the cover). Some entries, such as the one on drying your hair, may seem a little 'fluffy' but they invariably pack a memorable message. xii, 88 pp. Also worth collecting for the Bagnall cartoons.
