About this title

Review:

"Pelham has written a book that shows just how intuitive and just how delicious science can be. It sparkles, illuminates, and inspires at every turn! Pelham doesn't just tell us 'how' research is done--he helps us see 'why' it is done that way. If I wanted my grandmother to appreciate the scientific method, this is the book I'd give her." ." . . A really excellent job of making the material entertaining while maintaining a high level of rigor and accuracy."
