Product Information
Every year, readers send in thousands of questions to New Scientist, the best-selling science weekly, in the hope that the answers to them will be given in the 'The Last Word Column' column - regularly voted the most popular feature in the magazine. Here is a collection of the best that have appeared, including: How long can I live on beer alone? Why do people have eyebrows? Has nature invented any wheels? Does a compass work in space? Why do all the local dogs howl at emergency sirens? How can a tree grow out of a chimney stack? Why do people have eyebrows? Why is the sea blue inside caves? Many seemingly simple questions are actually very complex to answer. 'The Last Word' celebrates these smaller questions, as well as the trivial, the idiosyncratic, the baffling and the strange. The selection of the best is popular science at its most entertaining and enlightening.Product Identifiers
