House of Karls

Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

In the ruthless pursuit of scientific fact, there is no candidate more formidable than Dr Karl Kruszelnicki. Power-hungry for experimentation, data manipulation and outlandish science propaganda, Dr Karl is Australia's incumbent President of Science.

In House of Karls, he addresses a range of issues and questions: how Politics and Greed are dirtying the purity of Science and why the world's most expensive book costs more than $23 million dollars, but only $4 to post. How real is the Five Second Rule with food? Why does a frog in milk stop it from souring? Why did the Nazis steal the only Space Buddha?

Gold may bring power, but how did it get from an exploding star to a gum tree? Why are children smarter than their parents? Why is bank robbery a terrible economic decision, and what are the surprising origins of the 'selfie'?

Did you know that the Government knows of a cancer cure and it has 75,000 pieces of Big Data on you...
