Tales of Science

Rasmus Åkerblom & Anders Nyberg

When science becomes magic!

Breathtaking read-aloud non-fiction that sparks our imagination. When Rasmus Åkerblom tells a story, even the most complex things become easier to understand. Where does the fear at the top of a roller coaster come from? Why do we feel tired in winter? And where does the water in our taps come from?

Join winding journeys to the centre of the Earth and through a wormhole in space, and meet the “Mad Drummer” inside the brain. Across fifteen chapters, discover the remarkable science stories that surround us everywhere, all the time. A book to enjoy at any age.

Rasmus Åkerblom is a journalist and television presenter. His debut book The World of Wonders (illustrated by Erik Svetoft) received the prestigious Carl von Linné Plaque in 2021.

Anders Nyberg is one of Sweden’s most experienced non-fiction illustrators. In this book, each chapter opens with one of his colorful, thought-provoking illustrations that invite readers deeper into the wonders of science.
