A collection of cartoons -- surprising enough about science.
Or engineering. And rather geeky, too. The mathematician who wondered what he was doing -- no Nobel prize in Math. Sam Glade, private scientist, explaining his charges. A scene with dinosaurs going "Moo," "Oink," or "Meow." The Seven Ages of Man -- based on the dwarfs in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
An excellent book for those who know a lot of science.
