Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life Audiobook (Free)

Just like Freakonomics brought economics alive, so Storm inside a Teacup brings physics into our daily lives and makes it fascinating.

What is it that assists both scorpions and cyclists to survive? What do organic eggs and gyroscopes have in common? And why would it matter?

In a day and time of string theory, fluid dynamics and biophysics, it could seem as if the science of the world is only for specialists and academics. Not so, insists Helen Czerski – and in this gleaming new book she explores the patterns and cable connections that demonstrate the grandest ideas in the tiniest everyday objects and experiences.

Linking why is popcorn pop to Antarctic winds, coffee stains to blood tests or ketchup bottles to aliens in space, every thread you pull in the fabric of everyday life teaches you something new about the intricate patterns of our world.

Read Storm inside a Teacup and you will see and understand the world as you hardly ever did before.
