I wrote 'Science For Her!' because I found normal, manly science textbooks to be too intense for my small size-0 brain, and I found normal science textbooks to have covers too heavy for my dainty size-0/size-2-with-bloat hands.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Science is cool! But it's easy for that to get lost in textbooks sometimes.
I know, speaking for myself, no matter what I'm able to do, no matter what book comes out and ends up on paper, I always had something bigger and grander in my head.
People who don't normally read make an exception for my books, possibly because they're short.
Science in textbooks is not fun. But if you start doing science yourself, you will find delight.
I'm, like, a real nerd, in that I will take a book that is three inches thick and disappear and not leave until it's done.
'Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell' by Susanna Clarke is a big, thick book. About a thousand pages in paperback. I've heard several people say the size alone intimidated them.
Books are my weakness.
No matter what I've published - and you can look it up, I've published quite a lot in science, quite a few books too - none of it's very important. All will be forgotten and in a few years time will be a few comments in eight-point type in footnotes at the bottom of the page somewhere.
I always sent my mother all these huge books I made. When my mother died, I was cleaning her cupboard, and these big books were only 20 pages long.
The simplest science book is over my head.
