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?These 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 Can't See Forever,\" \"A Murder in Ceylon.\" \"The Green Flash,\" \"Physics on a Manure Heap,\" \" Indoor Rainbows,\" and \"Multiple Scattering at the Breakfast Table.\"\"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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51979381571872,"sku":"NEW0486417387","price":12.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/clouds-in-a-glass-of-beer-simple-experiments-in-atmospheric-physics-0486417387","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
