Science of Little Round Things: Cartoons About Scientists
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The serious world of science gets a not-so-serious treatment in this collection of fun and thoughtful cartoons about the realm of dinosaurs, outer space, and all those little round things that defy classification. We've all heard of the red shift, but the purple muu-muu? Can't clone a hyena and cow-it would be a laughing stock! These and more than a hundred other humorous insights into the world of test tubes, lab coats, and DNA ("and" spelled backwards) are included, along with the author's insights on how she gets ideas for these and other cartoons that have amused readers of The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Wall Street Journal, Discover Magazine, and many other publications. A must for scientists, people who like science, and those who think there really must be something funny going on down there in the lab.
