With The Goal Of Providing An Interesting Learning Experience The Book'S Focus Is Not Just On Stem (Science Technology Engineering Math). Also Included Is Analysis Of Cause & Effect And A Lot Of Surprising History. So It Is Not Just About How Things Work It Is Also About Why They Happened That Way And The Consequences. Roughly Every 500 Years New Technology Completely Disrupts Society Changing Borders Laws And The Way People Live And Work. It Happened Again With The Emergence Of The Digital Age. Because Aviation Involves Many Fields Of Science It Is A Particularly Interesting Way To Show How Stem Is A Continuum Of Mutually Supporting Elements. Applications Of Chemistry Physics Astronomy Navigation Programming And Paradigm Paralysis Are Presented In A Hands-On Understandable Way.
