With Christmas just around the corner we would like to recommend, Can Reindeer Fly? Roger Highfield examines the science behind Christmas. So if you have ever wondered why Rudolf has a red nose or why Jesus was born in a stable then this is the book for you. The articles range from the silly such as why Santa Claus is so fat, to the scholarly such as whether a virgin birth is scientifically possible. All of them are thought provoking and some of them show that behind the white coats and glasses, scientists have a sense of humour too.
