House of Karls. Karl Kruszelnicki. 2014.

Regular price $8.00

In House of Karls, Dr Karl 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, 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’?
