Reviews

Edumacation is like peeking into Andy's fact-filled brain - each topic is silo-ed into rough categories packed to the brim with historical and scientific information...Overall, this book reads less like a scientific tome and more like a conversation with your best friend. It's light, funny and you come out of it feeling good about yourself. You also pick up some neat trivia to share at parties! * Nerdophiles *
