If you're interested in a particular topic, I'd look for more focused books but if you want an over-view, this is one of the best I've seen. I found the biology section particularly interesting since I took only the most basic biology classes in school and didn't pay attention very much in those. This book fleshed out what I know a little.

And has Stacey read it?
Not yet - she's been too busy.
This book sounds cool. I think I need it. The only thing I remember from high school physics is that heavier objects fall faster. I can't remember why, though.
I think there needs to be a rule here about not posting comments that are more amusing than the original post.
