That's Not in My Science Book
A Compilation of Little-Known Facts
Kate Kelly
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." These include the discovery of the periodic table of
elements (and why it matters), the development of miracle drugs such as
aspirin and penicillin, the invention of television, the prospects for
earthquake prediction, and the genesis of the Internet.
Whether it's a fascinating anecdote about the role of zebrafish as stand-in patients for humans or the history of the computer,
That's Not in My Science Book will prove to be an engaging read for armchair scientists and students alike.
