And have you ever puzzled over the real meaning of \"once in a blue moon\" or why sand is darker when it's wet than when it's dry? And just why, exactly, do bubbles appear in a glass of beer when you add salt to it?\u003cbr\u003eThese and many other baffling questions are answered in this engaging book by a physics professor at Pennsylvania State University. Ranging from playful to serious, Professor Bohren's lively and entertaining discussions employ a liberal mixture of humor and anecdote to debunk a host of scientific myths and render science lessons thoroughly understandable. Chapters include \"On a Clear Day You \u003ci\u003eCan't\u003c\/i\u003e See Forever,\" \"A Murder in Ceylon.\" \"The Green Flash,\" \"Physics on a Manure Heap,\" \" Indoor Rainbows,\" and \"Multiple Scattering at the Breakfast Table.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"The book rings with a unifying tone: the science of the everyday physical world is fun. And so is the book,\" writes Jearl Walker, a member of the Physics Department at Cleveland State University. Beginning physics and general readers will be fascinated by the scientific knowledge gained from this work; and science teachers will find it a treasure trove of ideas for simple, vivid classroom demonstrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486417387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 6.14w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2001 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Craig F.
