Why Icebergs Float : Exploring Science in Everyday Life
- UCL Press 2016
- 1 online resource (220 pages)
From paintings and food to illness and icebergs, science is happening everywhere. Rather than follow the path of a syllabus or textbook, Andrew Morris takes examples from the science we see every day and uses them as entry points to explain a number of fundamental scientific concepts : from understanding colour to the nature of hormones : in ways that anyone can grasp. While each chapter offers a separate story, they are linked together by their fascinating relevance to our daily lives.
