Scientific Facts (Vol-3)

Questions & Answers on scientific issues that appear in the 'Question Corner' column of the Science and Technology pages of The Hindu each week have held wide reader interest. While encouraging a spirit of inquiry and inquisitiveness among the general reader, the feature seeks to promote scientific temper among the young. Two compilations of these entries, presented in a simple but well-informed style and based on actual reader queries, having received an overwhelming response, The Hindu now brings you a third volume. Useful to the technical mind and the interested layperson, the contents of this volume are categorised under the heads of Earth, Life & Physical sciences and Technology, and more.
