Science has always been a fascinating subject, and it can be hard to find an entertaining way to learn about it. That's why I'm so excited that Akram Kashmiri's book Everyday Science: A Comic Book Guide for the Curious Mind came out! It's perfect for all kinds of learners — especially those who may not have the best science background — and brings together comics and hilarious illustrations with academic research. "Everyday Science" was created by Akram Kashmiri, an award-winning cartoonist who draws the comic strip “Pants” for The New Yorker. Writers David Grann and David Sedaris worked with Kashmiri to create this book, which focuses on the science of everyday things, like laundry detergent and chocolate desserts. Kashmiri says that his aim is to make science accessible for people who aren't really into it, or can't afford to take expensive courses. "When I started creating comics about the sciences," he explains in Everyday Science's press release, "I wanted something that would be entertaining and engaging without dumbing down my subjects. I wanted to create something that would work for people who don't really enjoy learning about science, but want to understand it." Everyday Science includes comics about how everyday items work, like "How to Make a Sandwich" and "How to Make Dog Treats". Conversations between Kashmiri's characters are cheeky but also informative. Take the book’s first page, for example, which shows the “Interviewer” asking a cartoon character about why she believes in god. The answer is kind of funny: “I don't know. I guess I was born one way and now I'm here. This is my question. ” Everyday Science is more than just a funny way to learn some obscure trivia. It's also appropriate for students taking science courses, or anyone who wants to learn about science without being intimidated. Science fans of all ages will surely enjoy this book., - Midwest Book Review "Everyday Science" is an unusual approach to learning, which appeals specifically to people who don't really enjoy learning about science but want to improve their knowledge nonetheless. Especially recommended are the chapters on food, which are designed as easy-to-follow recipes based on scientific principles - these are original and work well as references even for those who haven't read them before, despite having no previous knowledge of the technical terms used in everyday cooking. Kashmiri's illustrations are full of humour and he conveys the science well, though I found that I had to work a little harder than I thought I would to find the information and many of the jokes missed my mark. - American Scientist Magazine "Everyday Science" is a tantalizing blend of prose and comic book. Kashmiri presents quirky or obscure examples of science we encounter every single day — from vacuum cleaners to wine — with simple explanations and cartoons. He’s not afraid to use context clues either: “Why do people sometimes get angry? They just don’t understand that other people don’t care about things that aren’t important. 16cfa1e7782093
