"This easy to read book takes a behind the scenes look at 30 of the most explosive, surprising and wacky myths or urban legends tackled by the mythbusters. The stunts are explained clearly, with a dash os science thrown in for good measure. Some are sort of mundane -- will coke clean a penny -- while others are a lot more intriguing -- is it possible those convicts really escaped from Alcatraz using a makeshift raft fashioned from raincoats? And some almost defy belief. Who knew you could raise a submerged boat using ping pong balls? It's a quick read, so have some fun spending a little time at the place where science, creativity and testosterone intersect."
