2 posts | 3 read | 20 to read
The instant New York Times bestselling book of entertaining, irreverent, and totally accessible illustrated answers to the scientific questions you had no idea were bugging you all your life (Fast Company), from the creators of the wildly popular YouTube channel AsapSCIENCE. Why do we get hung over? What would happen if you stopped sleeping? Is binge-watching TV actually bad for you? Why should I take a power nap? In their first-ever book, Mitchell Moffit and Greg Brown, the geniuses behind the YouTube channel AsapSCIENCE, explain the true science of how things work in their trademark hilarious and fascinating fashion. Applying the fun, illustrated format of their addictive videos to topics ranging from brain freeze to hiccups to the science of the snooze button, AsapSCIENCE takes the underpinnings of biology, chemistry, physics, and other hard sciences and applies them to everyday life through quirky and relatable examples that will appeal to both science nerds and those who didnt exactly ace chemistry. This is the science that people actually want to learn, shared in a friendly, engaging style. Science is big fun. The ASAP guys get that, and theyll show youtheyll even draw you a diagram (Bill Nye, The Science Guy). And amid the humor is great information and cocktail conversation fodder, all thoughtfully presented. Whether youre a total newbie or the next Albert Einstein, this guide is sure to educate and entertain...ASAP.

night_shift I mean, I'm down with this but I just don't see how. Maybe having to hold the book up? Having to shift to find a better reading position? Lifting the tea cup? I honestly don't see how it would burn anymore then if you eye watching TV. 8y

This is a fun one! Questions about bodily functions, sensory perceptions, sex, behavior, sleep and dreams... answered in short, understandable jargon-less paragraphs interspersed with cartoon-like illustrations. Fun and informative!
