Witty, informative and a great read—could this wonder book be anything
else but New Scientist’s very own The Last Word 2? Boasting
aside, The weekly Last Word column owes its energy and charm to our readers’
knowledge and enthusiasm—from the US to South Africa, New Zealand to
Britain. Experts range from aerospace engineer and physics professor to
grapefruit peeler’s brother and knowledgeable seven-year-old. Buy at least two
copies: one to keep for yourself and one to give away. Published by Oxford,
£8.99, ISBN 0192862049.
