I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway

This is a great little book. Its a quick read and well organized. Those topics that didn't interest me, I was able to skip over. I think a good read is any book where I learn something I did not know prior

[Lady Galaxy · Rating 4 out of 5]

The chapters in this book are very short, most taking less than 5 minutes to read—many taking only a minute. It's the kind of book you have handy for those times when you're waiting for the plumber to show up or for your name to be called at the doctor's office. There's not a lot of earth shattering details but enough information to satisfy most casual curiosity.

Fun facts (with some scientific bent on the theory) with a bit of sarcasm and humor. A fun, quick read of trivia.
