Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Fast-reading, funny prose on science, pop culture, politics, and life.


From the Back Cover
Steve Mirsky, humorist and podcaster, has entertained and provoked readers of Scientific American magazine in his "Anti Gravity” column for the past ten years. With his sharp wit, wide-ranging interests, and droll application of a scientific viewpoint to pop culture, Mirsky has covered topics ranging from CSI's influence on college majors to the cheap-Formica-billed woodpecker, from the absurdities of creation "science" to the inanities of politicians trying to address scientific topics on Sunday-morning talk shows. This book offers the best of Mirsky's smart sensibility to fans new and old.
