This book works like alchemy – it succeeds in making the ordinary extraordinary. It’s weird, wild, wacky… and utterly addictive. With its quirky experiments, eye-catching design and witty yet informative text, it’s the perfect hands-on introduction to the principles of science. The bestselling “Wholly Irresponsible Experiments” and “Wholly Irresponsible Exploits” and their international editions have been amazing readers around the world since mid-2007. “Wholly Irresponsible Science” takes things a step further in the quest to blow the lid off our understanding of bangs and explosions. Fasten your seat belts and prepare for a voyage to the wilder outer fringes of science. Irresponsible? Dip into these pages and decide for yourself.
Sean Connolly is the father of three and author of more than 60 books aimed at children and adults. Since 2007, he has toured the UK and the USA demonstrating his engaging brand of science, leaving school, bookshop, radio and TV audiences with tips on firing potato guns, overcoming gravity and making milk disappear.
