Bohren\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEver wonder why steam rises from a bowl of hot soup or why a greenhouse retains heat? 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\u003eThe 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\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 9.38 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 10, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42133578350727,"sku":"9780486417387","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/4cdf7ddbe309c902985d5ad8888ac669.webp?v=1732635056","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/clouds-in-a-glass-of-beer-simple-experiments-in-atmospheric-physics-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
