Clearly a good writer, however, clearly a book for people with very little scientific knowledge, and doesn’t hold up very well time-wise. This book is rather old now, and as is the nature of science, it has changed significantly, and thus this is quite an outdated read. Furthermore, I felt the layout could’ve been improved as this very bite-sized chapters about “science” across the board didn’t lend well in terms of providing any depth, rather a little knowledge about everything which ultimately means nothing. If you’re just looking for some useless facts to tell your friends, then maybe this would be a good read, but for anything else, I’m afraid it doesn’t really hold against the rest of time.
