The Element in the Room: Science-y Stuff Staring You in the Face

• Why is it impossible to spin your right foot clockwise while you draw a 6 with your right hand?
• Can you extract DNA from a strawberry daiquiri?
• Would you make love like a praying mantis?
• Should you book a holiday on Earth 2.0?

The Element in the Room will take you on a rib-tickling, experiment-fuelled adventure to explain everyday science that is staring you in the face. If you are sci-curious, pi-curious or just the-end-is-nigh-curious then this is the book for you.
