Summary: Why Things Are & Why Things Aren't
Review: Achenbach is a genius at observation, very interesting questions and wonderful and witty humor. If you loved his previous books you'll love this one. I was sad to finish it.

Summary: Accurate, informative and hysterically funny
Review: This book is for the insatiably curious, and it is a joy to read. Not only is it incredibly funny but it's full of accurate scientific information, and provides answers to questions you didn't even realize you had. The author is obviously an incredibly talented writer who is having a good time with the subject matter. A great little book and suprisingly profound!
