Show Me The Science: Life’s Biggest Questions and How Science Answers Them

by Luke O'Neill, Tara O'Brien (Illustrator)

Never Mind the B#ll*cks, Here’s the Science is Professor Luke O’Neill’s biggest runaway bestseller in which he grapples with life's biggest questions and tells us what science has to say about them. Now adapted for children, Show Me the Science asks the same questions - Do we have control over our lives? Can we escape working in terrible jobs? Why do we need vaccinations? Are men’s and women's brains different? Will we destroy the planet? - and encourages children to apply a scientific mindset in attempting to answer them.

Covering topics from global pandemics to artificial intelligence, this is a celebration of science and all the brilliant answers it can offer us for a budding generation of professors!

Show me the Science is a great book with lots of scientific information in it. I’ve finished this book last week and this can be the best book about science. This is a new book, published in 2023. Its known as children book but you wouldn’t understand if you are 6 or 7 years old. I am 12 years old and this is an advice form me about this book.

Read this, and sharing with my son. It's really well written and beautifully illustrated. One or two minor gripes with it, it slightly confuses 'theory' and 'hypothesis', but overall it's a great primer. It is clearly written assuming the reader is a child south of the border, but works for a 35-year-old north of the border too.
