`This is the sort of science book one always hopes for-Reading it will make you feel clever' William Leith, Daily Telegraph

Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In 13 Things that Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs.

Is ninety six per cent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to show that the placebe effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics. Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement of the scientific unknown.

`Elegantly written, meticulously researched and thought-provoking-sure to spur intense debate' New Scientist

Is 96 percent of the universe missing? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? This book presents thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs. Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, it captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.

Fascinating ... Brooks reawakens us to the astonishing fact of our mere existence, the strangeness of the world around us, and the astonishing amount that science has yet to discover -- Christopher Hart * Sunday Times * Outstanding non-fiction reading * Esquire * Impressively knowledgeable, articulate -- Christopher Hirst * Independent * An admirably clear and clever writer * Evening Standard * Proof that science gets interesting when things get weird * Weekend Australian *
