4.0 out of 5 stars Sounds Dreadful' will leave you shouting for more!', 6 Mar 2007
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
`Sounds Dreadful' will leave you shouting for more! Are you ready to lift the piano lid on noise and discover.....

Why farts are so noisy?
How a single note turns trained singers into glass-smashing vandals?
Which sound waves can make your intestines vibrate?

If you think you can stomach the `sick' side of Science, then read on as we go on as the world of rumbling resonance, shocking sound waves and sonic booms gets a sound check. Find out how sound waves make your ear drums tremble, how a microphone turns your voice into electrical pulses....and why you might get a nose bleed listening to church bells!

With fantastic fact files and quirky quizzes, teacher tests and crazy cartoons, `'Sounds Dreadful' is a real scream!

159 pages, written in a variety of fonts in the usual Nick Arnold entertaining style.
Black and white illustrations/cartoons throughout, as well as `Bet you never knew' fact-boxes, e.g.:-

`You can only hear sound when there's air or another substance around to pass on the sound waves. In space you can't hear anything at all because there's no air about. So if you were attacked by an alien space monster no one could hear your screams!'

Science has never been so horrible!
