Sinopsis
Think you know it all? Of course you do!
But there are a multitude of so-called "facts" that are nothing more than myths. For instance: Carrots improve your vision. Even though you've never seen a rabbit with glasses, this little tidbit is actually a trick played by the Royal Air Force in World War II. This book debunks many things we think are true but actually have no basis in fact. It also includes a bunch of weird but true stuff along the way such as:- Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.
- Lemmings commit mass suicide.
- Using a cell phone at a gas station could cause a fire.
- Sugar makes kids hyperactive.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book starts from the jaw-dropping premise that everything you know could be wrong! Part science, part discovery and part fun, this book encourages kids to really think about science and the world around them, rather than just learning facts.Lots of received wisdom is plain wrong. Sometimes, as with the old belief that all dinosaurs were scaly, it's because new knowledge has come to light (fossil finds suggest many had feathers), turning 'facts' into myths. Other 'wrong' facts, for example that compasses point North, are half-truths: the full truth is much more interesting!
