Description
Every once in a while you're faced with a question that is so difficult, so unusual or so outlandish that you can only marvel at the fact that someone, somewhere, has not only answered it, but probably devoted a large portion of life to its study.
Knowing this, you could find the answer by making a long-overdue trip to the library, watching an entire season of Jeopardy! or quitting your day job to devote your time to the study of electric eel physiology in the tributaries of the Amazon.
Or you could read the Handy Science Answer Book.
Compiled from the extensive ready-reference files of the Science and Technology Department of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, the Handy Science Answer Book answers more than 1,200 frequently asked yet difficult-to-answer science and technology questions.
