I love science. I love books. I love funny. Here’s the book for me – Giant Leaps from The Science Museum (London)!
The Science Museum and The Sun newspaper have formed a unique partnership to produce an innovative and fun-filled book presenting the greatest developments in the history of science.
Giant Leaps is an often hilarious guide to some of the key discoveries, inventions and events in the history of science, technology and medicine. The right hand pages are written in the style of a sensational Sun front-page scoop, whilst the left hand pages give a more serious but nonetheless accessible account of the key event.
Available from Amazon.com (aff).
Update: There’s more about Giant Leaps and other popular science books from Bryan Appleyard in the Sunday Times Online.
