For an enquiring mind, with an interest in science and mathematics,
here is a treasure trove of delights from Philip Searle and son.
Puzzles developed by enquiring children and adults for people like
them. Not focusing on either science and mathematics gives the
elbow room to look at things that curricula don't cover. Some of
the more than 75 puzzles in this wonderful book will be familiar
friends, here presented in a lively fresh way for new readers. Many
others will be new - there are hours of challenging fun to be had
for anybody. Here are a few examples: What is the Mpemba effect?
Discover the Carpet Fitter's Problem Why are Roman clocks wrong?
What is the ratio of the Earth to the Moon? How many times can you
fold a piece of paper? How much would you `weigh' in Space? A
perfect present for any young person interested in the world - aged
8 years and up - and there is much for anyone of any age! Ideal
also for teachers and parents wanting to engage students less
interested than they might be in these fascinating topics.
