That's Not in My Science Book

The follow-on to the best-selling That's Not in My American History Book explains in everyday language both the ordinary and the bizarre technological marvels that we take for granted and the laws of nature that serve as the baseline for life on earth. Beginning with clear concise and entertaining descriptions of the important discoveries that form the basis of our scientific knowledge--Newtonian mechanics Einstein's theory of relativity evolution and germ theory to name a few--the book goes on to tell scientific stories that are lost between the pages.
