Mick O'Hare (ed.): Does Anything Eat Wasps?

The science magazine New Scientist features Last Word, a weekly where readers can send questions about the science of everyday life. The answers are collected from other readers, who include experts in many different fields. Some of the more interesting questions are collected in this little book.

The questions vary from mundane to quite obscure, and all are answered thoroughly and with expertise. Most of the topics are from everyday life, but others are stranger. How to make sure your body is fossilized after you die? Well, read this book and you'll know.

This is a fun little book, full of entertaining science. Some answers are useful, others are less so, but all are rather delightful and often feature good sense of humour. Anyone with a healthy curiosity and appreciation for science will enjoy this book. (Review based on the Finnish translation.)
