The author explains in clear and direct terms the applications of scientific principles to daily life. Fascinating reference book, carefully illustrated with the author’s own line drawings. Here are just a few of the questions you will find answered in this book; What makes bread turn mouldy? Why is alcohol a good antiseptic? How do glaciers move? Why do salmon return to spawn in the stream of their birth? and many more.
