Science in Action by John Lenihan

In Science in Action, John Lenihan shares his irrepressible enthusiasm for science. With characteristic wit and humor, he explains how science affects our daily lives in diverse areas such as medicine, poetry, politics, the environment, and the paranormal-cheerfully debunking some popular pseudo-scientific myths along the way. John Fleming's delightful cartoons add wry comment to the text, making this a book enjoyable to read time and again.

"This book is a sheer delightIt is so rare that one can enjoy reading about science, with a sense of fun and relaxation, but this is one such unusual occasion."
-School Science Review

"The whole development of science and technology are presented in such an enjoyable and palatable way that one might ask why such a book has not appeared before."
-New Scientist
