A great book by a great man

A highly addictive book, Karl Kruszelnicki's Absolutely Fabulous Moments in Science has 32 scientific stories about everything from time machines to cockroaches that climb into people's ears. A great display of "simple physics," this book, along with other Kruszelnicki books such as Pigeon Poo, the Universe and Car Paint, takes the reader on magnificent scientific journeys. I was so enthralled by Pigeon Poo, the Universe and Car Paint, I e-mailed Dr. Kruszelnicki and he wrote back. Dr. Kruszelnicki recently came to Texas and I had the honor of meeting him. Truly a great man, and truly a great book. This book is as exciting as any suspense novel out there. With the relatively short chapters, it's easy to find subject matter, making these books good for reference. Dr. Kruszelnicki's books cater to anyone's interests in history, science, chemistry, and numerous other things. Without doubt, Absolutely Fabulous Moments in Science is a greatly written roller coaster of science, pleasing the young and the old with a highly comical explanation of everyday things.
