I didn't hear the George Lamb show on BBC 6 Music, so I don't know what they said about the
book, but here's the review on their website:
The Undercover Scientist - Peter J Bentley
Random House Books, £12.99
Bentley is a man with a degree in artificial intelligence, so He Knows Science. And he's decided to
share it with us. Taking the example of someone having a shocker of a day, he reveals the secret
science behind everything we do.. Ever over-slept? Slipping on shower gel in the bathroom? Or
dropped a wine glass and wondered why is smashed that way? Bentley has the answers. Now
you'll know why you're eyes feel hot if you chop a chilli then rub them (even though they aren't
hot!). It might be a bit much to read all in one go, as there's a lot of info in there, but this is a
book that opens up the world to you. Factalicious.
