Very Good Condition – light cover and edge wear visible.

Michael Brooks investigates thirteen puzzles that resist easy scientific explanation, from dark matter and the placebo effect to the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Meeting researchers at the boundaries of accepted knowledge, he shows how anomalies can expose weaknesses in established theories and open paths toward discovery. Accessible, provocative and often surprising, the book captures science as a lively process of questioning rather than a finished body of facts. It is ideal for curious readers who enjoy big ideas, unresolved evidence and the thrill of intellectual uncertainty.
