Popular science at its best!
Every day things explained for the scientifically uninitiated.
A great book for inquiring minds! (

Mildly interesting. Mostly similar information to his other books. I enjoyed his sense of humor and the simple explanations of science for the non-scientist. Being a Ph.D. in Engineering and a past college professor this was largely not new information.
A good book for those interested in science but are not scientists. (

I found this substantially less appealing that Wolke's book on kitchen science, largely because in covering a broader spectrum of science, he covered much more territory that was already familiar to me.
Even so he is certainly one of the best authors in this vein. (
