In the tradition of Paul Aron's celebrated Unsolved Mysteries of American History, this fascinating, lively book delves into twenty-one of the biggest as-yet-unanswered questions in science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on topics from across the scientific spectrum-from fields as diverse as biology, astronomy, physics, and geology-author John Malone explores unexplained phenomena, ancient and new, and provides the best answers available today. As tantalizing as they are perplexing, here are questions that touch on such current science hot spots as cosmology, evolution, and the human brain, as well as age-old mysteries concerning life on Earth. From \"Is There a Missing Link?\" to \"How Do We Learn Language?\" to \"How Will the Universe End?\" Unsolved Mysteries of Science provides a mind-expanding journey for anyone curious about how the world works. Plus, each concise chapter includes suggestions for further reading, offering the especially curious additional avenues of research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbsorbing and accessible, this thought-provoking book allows readers to join in the tradition of the world's greatest thinkers, from Aristotle to Newton to Einstein, in attempting to unravel the riddles of our wondrous world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA LIVELY EXPLORATION OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS IN SCIENCE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Did the Universe Begin?\u003cbr\u003eThe Big Bang has been the accepted theory for decades, but does it explain everything?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Did Life on Earth Get Started?\u003cbr\u003eWhat triggered the cell division that started the evolutionary chain?
