Text by a group of scientists, compiled by Tata Zarubina, illustrated by Nina Kuzmina
Scientists Answer a Hundred (and Eight) Questions about Everything.
The book is a collaboration between the Polytechnic Museum of Moscow, founded in 1872, and one of the oldest science museums in the world, and Pink Giraffe Publishing. Museum staff collected an archive of questions, most commonly asked by children of all ages. These questions became the basis for this unusual book. Why is the Earth round? What is thunder? Where does Santa live? Why can't time stop? Why do grown-ups love kids? Why is television called a “TV” and not a “box of moving pictures”? This book is a chorus combining the voices of adults, the presence of Russian science, and the voices of children, who are the future.
