In this sequel to Mr. Cox's Award winning 100 Great Moments of Science, 1231/2 Weird Wacky Moments of Science picks up where the last book left off. In Mr. Cox's own words "While researching the first book I came across so many weird, wacky or otherwise interesting moments of science that I felt that there had to be a sequel." As always, Mr. Cox's writing is completely non-technical and uniquely understandable, garnered during 20 plus years of teaching science in the Worcester Public Schools.
