Pop Science Fun
Hollywood Wants To Kill You - The Peculiar Science Of Death In The Movies is a wonderful scientific text book with the brilliant framing of popular movies - almost certainly including your personal favourites.
The movies and scenes within the movies are well chosen. The science information that the authors (Rick Edwards and Dr Michael Brooks) spin off from those scenes is always relevant, accessible and presented in a hugely fun way.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves science, movies or just has a curiosity to learn more about the world. It is easy to read and the book's designers and producers should be applauded for their user-friendly choices. I shall be eargerly seeking out the authors first book Science(ish): The Peculiar Science Behind the Movies to learn even more.
