Did you know that water is the only thing found naturally on earth in each of the three states of matter, or that the Mississippi alligator can stay underwater for 6 hours? This book began its life as Science140, an exciting social media project coordinated by four Irish science communicators and enthusiasts. Since its launch on Twitter in the spring of 2012, thousands of tweets have been collected, each explaining a scientific principle, fact, joke, or biography in 140 characters or less. The tweets collected are on a range of topics from astronomy to zoology, and have been compiled by science enthusiasts, educators, members of the public, and celebrities from all over the world. Neither a textbook nor a definitive guide to science, this a fun way to learn new, interesting, fun, and unusual things about the world we live in.

Took this book with me from the Belushi's Bar in Berlin Mitte in exchange for a released bookcrossing book. - Well, random facts about scientific issues and quite few good jokes.

Hope you found it. Enjoy your reading. A journal entry would be nice and please release the book again after reading.
