Science curiosities across time and space

Barry Evans brings together 101 short chapters spanning explorers and inventors, evolution, dinosaurs, forgotten languages, myths, and the universe. The wide-ranging subjects connect natural history with human attempts to understand and navigate the world, from ancient landmarks and seafaring to cosmic questions. The book’s compact chapter format offers a collection of distinct scientific stories rather than a single continuous account, with curiosity and skepticism named as guiding ideas. Its scope moves between familiar topics and less-explored mysteries, making this a broad survey of science’s unusual episodes and questions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in bite-sized science reading across varied subjects.
  • Readers curious about natural history, exploration, inventions, and space.
