Product Description

Product Description

In STUFF THAT SCARES YOUR PANTS OFF! Glenn Murphy shows us that it is OK to be scared and that there are very good reasons why we are able to feel fear. He looks closely at our most common fears, including natural disasters, predators, spiders, disease, needles, dentists, crashes, darkness, speaking in public, heights, ghosts and monsters, to show us how much of that fear is perhaps unnecessary. The result is a fun, carefully pitched, popular-science title that mixes great true-life stories with the psychology of fear, the statistical probabilities of things happening and a lot of reassurance.

About the Author

Before moving to the US in 2007, Glenn Murphy worked at the Science Museum in London, recruiting, training and overseeing the management of the 75-strong team of dynamic, bubbly science communicators who perform shows and interact with the public in the galleries. He now lives in North Carolina with his wife.

Bought as a selection of books for my son's 10th birthday and he has enjoyed sharing all the disgusting facts with his friends. Look at the packages available as I got three different ones and it worked out cheaper that way. Excellent books for the daft. Fast delivery too.

Bought this for my 10 yr old son and he has thoroughly enjoyed reading it; in fact the whole family have been 'dipping in' every now and then. Written in a fairly light-hearted style but provides some real food for thought. "Cool", as my boy would say.
