Adam ★★★★★

The 60 experiments are laid out so clearly that I actually understood Archimedes' buoyancy principle for the first time since high school. It's dense but never dry, and the dark matter section at the end left me genuinely starstruck.

Ellie D. ★★★★★

My coffee table has never looked this smart—the 60 experiments are laid out so clearly that I actually read three chapters before I put it down. It's the kind of book that makes you feel clever just having it around.

Henry L. ★★★★★

I bought this as a gift for my brother-in-law, but ended up reading half of it myself before wrapping it. The way each experiment flows into the next, from buoyancy all the way to dark matter, makes it feel like a story rather than a textbook.
