This 4-vol. set illustrates the importance of scientific and
mathematical principles through their use in everyday life. Each
volume focuses on a specific scientific discipline -- biology,
chemistry, earth sciences and physics -- offering students an
in-depth understanding of each discipline and its theories.
Creating a sense of real-life relevance for students, the Science
of Everyday Things expands on the explanations of scientific
principles and concepts using a straightforward, step-by-step
approach, and presents theories in their everyday applications.
Some of the entries covered include: how osmosis is used in
dehydrating fruit; how the principles of aerodynamics are applied
to cars; Charles' law and the chemical reaction that sets off an
airbag; how algorithms are used to figure out the NCAA playoff
tournaments; and more. Each volume the Science of Everyday Things
presents approximately 40-50 entries and includes photos, diagrams,
sidebars containing short glossaries and interesting facts and
details relating to each principle.
