This is very surface level physics of everything you might encounter in a day from waking up at home, going to the doctor, taking a plane and checking into a hotel. It's a good introduction to where innovation has taken place that requires an understanding of physics, but you're not going to get that understanding of physics here. ( ) Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I've just moved and don't have access to the book to refresh my 1 year old memory of it. My impression is that this would be useful/interesting to a Freshman Physics major. I found it a bit less than truly informative and interesting. When I get my books unpacked I'll try to skim through it again and update this review. James Kakalios presents "The Physics of Everyday Things" while walking the reader through a normal day and explaining the wonders of science behind each "everyday thing." This is a very approachable book, and you do not have to be a science expert to understand Kakalios' explanations! As a science nerd myself, I will note that this book is more for the everyday common knowledge - if you're already familiar with how household appliances or electronics work, you may find yourself flipping through many of the chapters. That being said, "The Physics of Everyday Things" was a very enjoyable read while simultaneously providing insights to the objects that we use every day yet do not think about. Reading this book made me appreciate the countless scientists who shaped and made possible our lives as we know it. (And that Bill Gates quote kept running through my head as read Kakalios' book: "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.") http://hebrideshermit.blogspot.com/2017/07/a-good-everyday-read.html aucune critique | ajouter une critique
