While shedding light on these conundrums, Karl Sabbagh shows that seemingly trivial queries or assumptions lead to a deeper understanding of how science works. From the unexpected positive fallout from the H-bomb to the dinosaurs that caused sonic booms, and the fifth taste sensation lurking in everyone's taste buds which nobody knew about (except for the Japanese), The Hair of the Dog shows that science is full of surprises

Recensione:
'Mature, clear and unobtrusive...cracking stories to whet your appetite as you dip in and out' (BBC Focus Magazine)
'a brilliant, wonderfully entertaining book, which ensures that every reader will learn something new' (Shropshire Star)
'Engaging and entertaining' (Daily Mail)
A great book to dip into, and if you like television shows like QI, you will be hooked from the first page. The tone is light but scholarly, stimulating thought as much as dispensing knowledge (Daily Telegraph)
