It's a collection of over 250 of some of the best, and some of the more amusing scientific discoveries from the last 2 years.
What it guarantees is perfect "pub ammo", or perhaps even "playground ammo" for younger readers - because it should suit anyone with a brain and a sense of humour from age 12 and up.
For more information, this page http://www.thenakedscientists.com/book/index.htm (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/book/index.htm) contains samples and a link to an online sales outlet, if you'd like to buy a copy. As an incentive, UK postage is FREE!
Thanks for your interest,
Chris

As soon as I buy it and then read it I will post my thoughts on it. On this thread if thats ok.
-
I've read it, well most of it, and it's FANTASTIC.
It's the perfect pick up put down book. In fact I ahven't enjoyed a science book this much since A Level physics. Only joking!
My copy is actually going in my son's Christmas stocking, but don't tell him I read it first!
Nice work.
George.

Why George, How many children do you have?
Hey Chris for those of us Us citizens who don't use banking or credit cards, Is there an address we can send money orders to, that allows us to purchase the book! I want a copy but did not see that information when I clicked on the link! Could you let me know?
By the way, in editing my mistakes, I realized I had forgotten to tell you Good Luck and I hope it does well. If The Naked Scientists Site is any sign of the work you can produce then I say it should be a best seller!!![:D]Congradulations!!

Mmm, that's tricky. You could drop an email to "borisa" at homechoice dot co dot uk and ask that question. Boris may know a simple solution.

That's so funny - everyone's saying that!
And I suppose the real bonus is that even if you hate it (which you won't) you can always wipe your ar$e on it, which is nice!

Text-wise, no. The Aussie version is a hardback, however. Very nice!

HEY CHRIS, a while back I talked to you about the price of the books, I never got around to ordering them, but would still like to. Are they indeed still available and is it possible to get the Australian Hardback version as well as the paperback? Is the person I emailed Borisa still the same contact?
-
Why do the aussie'S get a better hard back version whilst we in the UK get the inferior paper back.:)
-
Hey Chris,
I just purchased your book via amazon along with about 20 odd other books. I have a few books that are not unlike yours. The NewScientist books, QI book etc. Hope you make additional volumes :-D. Liked the intro about the history of the show :-D.
Cheers and Happy New Year 2007
-Steven
-
Erm, how can I get a hold of this book?
-
Not difficult to find. You can get it via amazon.
-
Oh Ok, Thanks alot =)
-
Has anyone read this book? It looks really good, but I want to know whether anyone highly recommends it if they have read it [;D]
-
Hmmm..book...me um wantum one too !..me thinkum it maketh nice reading ....me um sendum chris smokeum signals !!
-

OK, I've decided. I'm going to buy one on Amazon in 2 weeks, after my exam, because it might put me off my revision! [;D]
-

*note to self: Do not instruct yoofs to break copyright rules and regulations because ewe're too mean to buy your own copy*
-
Hehe. Psssssst. I'll photocopy it, and make it into a nice little booklet with staples [;)]
*Sees Chris looking at me*. I MEAN NOOOOOO WAY NEIL! What were you thinking you naughty boy!
-
I have this book. It is similar to the New Scientist Q&A books but better I think. Its good to skim, open at a random page or read whole sections.
-
Thanks Steven! But what is it really about? Just random, amusing science discoveries, which I really like? [;D]
-
answers to science questions. Interesting facts that have been on the show etc.
-
Ah OK. I've got to buy it then [;D]

I wondered what all that e/span stuff was........ great that you could rescue things before it got out of hand
-
it was some glitch Dave has hopefully fixed its working good right now!
-
getting back on topic.
I understand that Chris has just finished a new book, with illustrations by Mr Daveshorts. I wonder if it will be out in time for Christmas?
Chris, any comments, info or updates?
-
ohhhhh, want one too! Christmas time would be good!
-
Yes, it's true, we have just finished another book; in fact I have finished two books although at the moment only one of them will be out in the UK. The Dave / Chris collaboration comes out next spring (I think), and the Chris solo effort comes out at Christmas next year.
In the meantime, Naked Science remains a thoroughly enjoyable read...
-
So this coming spring and next Christmas eh???! YAAAYYYYYY!!!!
-
I like it very much, (http://www.cuch.org/html/Chinese-lion-dance-costume-and-China-dragon-dance-costumes.htm) it is neat. (http://www.art-arts.org)
-

-
I ordered mine two years ago and I still await delivery !
-
Neil - are you serious that you never got a copy?
-
Ordered mine on wednesday, can't wait [;D] [;D] [;D] [;D] [;D] [;D] [;D] [;D]
EDIT: It arrived the other day its amazing!
-
Hi Mike
Oh, that's good; glad that you like it.
Chris
-
My book's arrived too whoohoo....Once I finish getting through all of the NS podcasts...(seems like there about 500 in all)....I shall enjoy reading the book! Well done Chris [:D]
I did try to nominate your NS podcasts for an online award, but it looks like I missed the cut off date for votes for one of them (sorry about that), are there any more polls I can vote for it in?
I'm still catching up with the backlog of podcasts so am a little behind with my message posting and posting/commenting on relevant topics (eg. on the spider web one, unbeknown to me I posted my answer after the question had been answered live on air!) LOL

I've just ordered a copy of the book to be sent to Garstang for my Aunt's Christmas present.
(She said, feeling smug at getting an early start on Christmas shopping)
-
Those books are looking interesting, I gott'a read those book Chris! [8D]
-
Aunty just started reading the book when a friend came over and nicked it for a while. My aunty's too nice.
-
More importantly, did she like it?!
-
Well her friend certainly did! Aunty said it had just arrived in the post when she showed it to her friend who perused it and immediately asked to borrow it. I'll write and see if Aunty's had a chance to read her own book yet.
-
I tried and tried to make this start at a specific time but had no luck. Just jump to about 4:00.WHY IS HE NAKED? I have not idea. But Im not complaining, hes very nice looking and even better looking in the buff.
-
just got my copy yesterday! haven't gotten to read it yet because my roomate stole it and has been reading it
-
All the best .well done :)
