Do Polar Bears Get Lonely

“Do Polar Bears Get Lonely?” is the third compilation of readers’ answers to the questions in the ‘Last Word’ column of “New Scientist”, the world’s best-selling science weekly. Following the phenomenal success of “Does Anything Eat Wasps?” (2005) and the even more spectacularly successful “Why Don’t Penguins’ Feet Freeze?” (2006), this latest collection includes a bumper crop of wise and wonderful answers never before seen in book form. As usual, the simplest questions often have the most complex answers – while some that seem the knottiest have very simple explanations. “New Scientist”‘s ‘Last Word’ is regularly voted the magazine’s most popular section as it celebrates all questions – the trivial, idiosyncratic, baffling and strange. This all-new and eagerly awaited selection of the best again presents popular science at its most entertaining and enlightening.
