You’ll see the science in everything around (and inside) you, and learn the truth about the most egregious science myths (such as—you can’t sweat like a pig” because pigs don’t sweat). How many amazing facts await your visual cortex in these 494 pages made up of atoms (print version) or bits and bytes (e-book)? As Carl Sagan would have said, Billions and Billions!” So put on your thinking cap and check out Pluto deniedKitchen chemistryFootball gets physics-alPlanet Earth’s sudden hot flashesFood’s incredible journey...through youThe science of surfing, skating, and snowboardingHow they plugged the hole in the ozone layerHow defenseless” animals stay aliveSci-fi that’s more fi than sciAncient astronomersKnow your cloudsAnd much, much more!
