THE COMPLETE (SHORT) GUIDE TO ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING Adventures in Math and Science

British radio personalities Adam Rutherford and Hannah Fry share duties equally in this brisk and irreverent explanation of "nearly everything" in math and science--which turns out to be quite a lot. The pair's accents and approach may take some getting used to, as their style has a distinct echo of the British music hall. But they are masters of the back-and-forth, and their very listenable segments are also enlightening and painlessly instructional. The focus is on human perception--for instance, the performance of the human eye and how it-- and we--process events around us. Easy to follow but factually reliable, this instruction is a bit tart and refreshingly light. D.A.W. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
