How it all works. The laws of physics in our lives
49.99 €
University of Virginia professor Louis Bloomfield, who has won numerous awards for his research in atomic physics, condensed matter physics, and optics, knows better than anyone how to talk
about science to a wide audience. As a boy, Bloomfield took apart dozens of objects (most of which he was able to reassemble) and conducted hundreds of chemical experiments to understand how the laws of science work in ordinary life. And after becoming a scientist, he devoted much time and effort to making this knowledge available to ordinary people. The creator of the famous physics course for the humanities, Bloomfield has been teaching students, appearing on radio and television for more than twenty years, and has been an active scientist. His book "How Everything Works" explains in a fascinating and understandable way why light bulbs burn, laundry detergent washes away dirt, airplanes fly, iPods play music, and kitchen knives do not break. After reading it, there's no way you'll be heating food in foil in the microwave or putting on makeup under artificial light if you have a date in the park. But most importantly, you'll begin to better navigate not just the modern world, but modern science as well.
