Sam Jam sat in a school library and challenged the school community
to ask him about the origin of anything at all - and pledged to use
library resources to answer within 60 minutes. Children and adults
delivered clever, funny, unexpected questions: Who owned the first
pet dog? Who invented toilets? What was the first song? Were the
first newspapers really made of rock? And who was the first human,
anyway?Seeking answers, he and his young assistants discovered
remarkable true tales:And dozens more remarkable true stories.The
result is a fun story collection about the origins of a huge range
of things - which also introduces young readers to the art and
science of academic research. In these times of fake news,
information overload, and too much homework, the ability to conduct
fast, accurate research is one of the best skills any student can
have - and you can learn it in these pages.

astonishing facts, includes the history of atomic science right up
to today's discoveries about quantum physics. Potato friends Russ,
Yammy and Anna Tater will act as guides to our junior nuclear
scientists - the readers!Science, technology, engineering and math

Quantum physics and relativity, two of the most important advances
in modern science, are normally presented as a series of technical
discoveries in 20th century Europe.Yet this brief, easy-to-read
volume shows how they were underpinned by centuries of observations
about the nature of reality from the great philosophies and faiths
of humanity, from China to India to the Middle East.At each stage,
the people involved found themselves saying: 'That's impossible!
That makes no sense. And yet...'
