The Element in the Room will take you on a rib-tickling, experiment-fuelled adventure to explain everyday science that is staring you in the face. If you are sci-curious, pi-curious or just the-end-is-nigh-curious then this is the book for you. Steve Mould and Helen Arney are two thirds of science comedy phenomenon Festival of the Spoken Nerd. As a trio they have appeared on QI, created their own experimental* comedy show ''Domestic Science'' for Radio 4, toured their stand-up science shows to over 50,000 nerds (and non-nerds) and accumulated millions of views on YouTube. ''These nerds are the real deal'' - Ben Goldacre, author of BAD SCIENCE ''They make science fun and understandable which is a great combo.'' Sandi Toksvig ''MIND BLOWN.'' Tim Harford ''Science was never such hilarious explosive fun.'' Richard Herring ''This book is 37% better than mine. But it took 100% more nerds to write it.'' Matt Parker (the other third of Spoken Nerd) |
