What to expect
Clegg blows these widely held misconceptions about the workings of our world
out of the water in this engaging and entertaining book.
You may well be familiar with the fact that lightning, contrary to the popular saying, often
strikes the same place twice. But this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what
many of us wrongly believe about the way the world works. Whether it's word of
mouth, myths you've read about online, or misremembered facts from school, we're
bombarded by misconceptions about the science we come into contact with every day –
this book will uncover the most popular myths to help you avoid contributing to the
perpetuation of these misunderstandings.
Breaking it down into fifty of the most popular misconceptions in science, each
chapter of this book will be headed up with a ‘fact', followed by the real story, providing
the science and theory that debunks the myth. From fears about the exponential growth
of the human population to the embarrassment of always pointing out the north star as
the brightest in the sky, this is the book to read if you want to separate the science
fact from fiction.
