Storm in a Teacup : The Physics of Everyday Life Paperback Book
“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
A quite delightful book on the joys, and universality, of physics. Czerskis enthusiasm is infectious because she brings our humdrum everyday world to life, showing us that it is just as fascinating as anything that can be seen by the Hubble Telescope or created at the Large Hadron Collider. Jim AlKhaliliOur world is full of patterns. If you pour milk into your tea and give it a stir, youll see a swirl, a spiral of two fluids, before the two liquids mix completely. The same pattern is found elsewhere too. Look down on the Earth from space, and youll find similar swirls in the clouds, made where warm air and cold air waltz. In Storm in a Teacup, Helen Czerski links the little things we see every day with the big world we live in. Each chapter begins with something small popcorn, coffee stains and refrigerator magnets and uses it to explain some of the most important science and technology of our time. This is physics as the toolbox of science a toolbox we need in order to make sense of what is around us and arrive at decisions about the future, from medical advances to solving our future energy needs. It is also physics as the toy box of science physics as fun, as never before.
