University of Virginia professor Louis Bloomfield, a recipient of numerous awards for his research in atomic physics, condensed matter physics, and optics, is uniquely skilled at communicating science to a broad audience. As a boy, Bloomfield disassembled dozens of objects (most of which he reassembled) and conducted hundreds of chemical experiments to understand how the laws of science operate in everyday life. As a scientist, he devoted considerable time and energy to making this knowledge accessible to ordinary people. The creator of a renowned physics course for humanities students, Bloomfield has been teaching students for over twenty years, appearing on radio and television, and maintaining an active scientific career. His book, "How Things Work," provides a captivating and understandable explanation of why light bulbs light up, laundry detergent removes dirt, airplanes fly, iPods play music, and kitchen knives don't break. After reading this, you'll never microwave food wrapped in foil or apply makeup under artificial light if you're on a date in the park. But most importantly, you'll gain a better understanding of not just the modern world, but also modern science.
