ABOUT THIS BOOK

Did you know there is a single worm, which is longer than three buses?
Did you know there are microorganisms that are smaller than the dot of the letter ‘i’?

Isn’t it amazing to know that in spite of centuries of exploration and research, humans are still discovering new and fascinating things about nature?

In The Amazing Nature Quiz, authors Berty Ashley and Akhila Phadnis bring you a collection of trivia and facts presented in the form of questions to encourage you to look at nature with a newfound appreciation. This is a quiz book with a difference, one where you learn about bacteria that seem to defy belief, plants that defy physics, insects that defy the imagination and a whole lot more about nature that is simply astounding!

So take a walk on the wild side and get ready to astonish your friends and family with the extraordinary!

AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

Berty Ashley is a molecular biologist with the Dystrophy Annihilation Research Trust. He works with rare genetic disorders. What is not rare, though, is to see him conducting quizzes or attending them. He is the author of the popular ‘Easy Like Sunday Morning’ series of quizzes published in The Hindu’s Sunday Magazine. He was the senior content editor for two seasons of the Tamil edition of Kaun Banega Crorepati. He is also a lover of music—not only playing but collecting, as is evident by his growing stack of vinyl records of jazz, prog, Hindustani and heavy metal music. He and his partner, Akhila, live in Bengaluru, surrounded by books, music and an assortment of pens and guitars.

AKHILA PHADNIS is a freelance translator. She holds a Masters in Translation Studies from Durham University, UK, and also in Psychology from Madras University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. She enjoys reading, practising calligraphy, learning new languages, quizzing, board games and taking long walks by the beach.
