The Science Magpie by Simon Flynn

This is a great little book that had me learning and laughing from beginning to end, my inner geek is completely sated!  Little tasty bites of science, well written but not too basic, speaking about every aspect of science, period table, asteroid earth collison, prime numbers and logic theory, genetics, etymologies of scientific terms and the lyrics to the CERN rap.  The short sections make it an ideal book to just pick up and set down inbetween the rest of a busy life, and it's a nice size in the hand with an elegant white on black linen cover.
