And have you ever puzzled over the real meaning of once in a blue moon or why sand is darker when its wet than when its 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 Bohrens 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 Cant 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":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45900797182150,"sku":"DADAX0486417387","price":17.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/61mbr5IIaDL.jpg?v=1780317908","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/clouds-in-a-glass-of-beer-simple-experiments-in-atmospheric-physics","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
