Description

from the opening of the book:


"The world is full of miracles. The tiny steel ball in a ball-point pen; a jumbo jet lifting into the air; genetic fingerprints that reveal the guilt of criminals; the two ends of a tunnel meeting underground; a rabbit produced from a hat. But how are they achieved, these miracles? That is the question this book sets out to satisfy. And we hope that as well as finding the answer to your particular question you will discover many more intriguing subjects to marvel at."
