What's WEIRD about science? How about two-headed cows, animals with ears on their knees, crop circles, frogs falling from the sky, and scientists from the planet Venus? It's all here--and more--as this continuation of the much-loved series takes kids on a scientific ride to the wacky side. With two members of America's popular Weird hunter team at the helm, budding mad scientists will enjoy a wacky cross-country journey they'll never forget.
This compendium of weird and wonderful little-known science facts is chock-ful of page after page of information and photographs. Besides an article about The Flat Earth Society and the chicken who lived for 2 years after his head was chopped off, there are photos of Ted Williams' head cryogenically frozen and of the Body Farm (fortunately a long shot of the parking lot.) There is an index to make these 116 pages accessible. Reviewer 18.
