Brilantne spracovaná kniha nevšedných otázok a odpovedí, ktoré overili prvotriedni odborníci z Cambridgeskej univerzity. Hlúpe, pochabé a zbytočné otázky neexistujú. Teda existujú, no len vtedy, ak slová v nich nedávajú zmysel. Niekedy sa bojíme, že ak položíme nesprávnu otázku, ostatní si pomyslia, že nevieme, o čom hovoríme. Keby sa však nikto na nič nepýtal, nikto by ani netušil, o čom ostatní hovoria. Preto sa pýtajte! A keď dostanete odpoveď, pýtajte sa ďalej. Ľudstvo dosiahlo najväčšie pokroky práve vďaka tomu, že kládlo otázky a usilovalo sa nájsť odpovede. Táto vtipná kniha obsahuje celý rad tém od vedy, techniky, inžinierstva a matematiky až po evolúciu, zoológiu a históriu. Odpovedá na 213 najnezvyčajnejších a najzaujímavejších otázok. Môžete ju čítať od začiatku až do konca alebo ju môžete otvoriť na náhodnej strane. Ak hľadáte informácie o niečom konkrétnom, na konci nájdete zoznam otázok podľa oblastí. Pre čitateľov od 8 rokov Z anglického originálu preložila Zuzana Trstenská.
