Why Don't Penguins' Feet Freeze - and 114 other questions by Mick O'Hare (editor)
Hard pressed for another stocking filler, this follow-up to Does Anything Eat Wasps? (bwl 33) could be the answer. Published by New Scientist magazine, it answers scientifically many of the things you might want to know but have never liked to ask, such as: Why are dogs' noses black? Why do Flying Fish Fly? Which Way is Up? and What time is it at the North Pole? A book to curl up with after the turkey!
