Look through a physicist’s lens to revel in the hidden elegance of 200+ everyday objects and physical mechanisms, from crumpled paper to sandcastles.
Includes 35 science experiments that bring physics concepts to life in your own kitchen!
Hidden Wonders focuses on the objects that populate our everyday life—crumpled paper, woven fabric, a sand pile—but looks at them with a physicist’s eye, revealing a hidden elegance in mundane physical mechanisms.
In 6 chapters and more than 200 illustrations, the authors present brief stories, set in locales ranging from the Eiffel Tower to a sandcastle, that illustrate the little wonders hidden in the ordinary. A simple experiment that readers can perform at home concludes each story.
“A lovely reminder that amazing science needn’t be exotic or remote, but surrounds us every day . . .” —Philip Ball, author of Beyond Weird
