Does Anything Eat Wasps? was the surprise Christmas
bestseller
of 2005, and put the 'popular' back into popular science.
Why Don't
Penguins' Feet Freeze? is a new selection of the best of
the New
Scientist's amazingly popular 'Last Word' column. Every week
readers
send in hundreds of questions in the hope that other readers
will be
able to answer them in the column. The result is a
celebration of the
trivial, idiosyncratic, baffling and strange - popular
science at its
most entertaining and enlightening.

being?
