Mick O’Hare, editor, Do Polar Bears Get Lonely? : And Answers to 100 Other Weird and Wacky Questions about how the World Works. New York : Henry Holt and Co., 2009. xi + 240 pages; includes index.

Do spiders get thirsty? How long would it take a cow to fill the Grand Canyon with milk? How do they get the stripes on toothpaste? Plus 94 other questions answered.

This is a great book made up from readers' answers to a broad range of questions posed in the New Scientist magazine. As a non-science reader, this is a great book for me : intriguing questions with answers explained simply. It's a great way to learn some science without going to sleep!
