All a storm in a teacup, and that it would be discovered that there was no reality in it From the Hansard archive It is, of course, really a storm in a teacup from the revenue point of view. CHAOS lies ahead for residents of the Dales when a huge storm threatens destruction and potential death.
Czerski’s accessible explanations share the wonder of experimentation and the pleasure of figuring things out. Czerski’s writing is playful and witty: London’s Tower Bridge is “Narnia for engineers,” cyclists zoom around a velodrome “like demented hamsters on a gigantic wheel,” and chapter titles such as “Why Don’t Ducks Get Cold Feet?” and “Spoons, Spirals, and Sputnik” draw readers into diverse-and memorable-explorations of such diverse topics as matter phase changes and why dropped toast tends to land buttered side down.

A quick lesson in “ballistic cooking”-why popcorn pops-and imagining how an elephant uses its trunk segues into understanding how rockets work. Youll be hard-pressed to find any Englishman who disagrees. She begins her discussion with ordinary popcorn. In this delightful pop science title, Czerski, a physicist at University College London, shows that understanding how the universe works requires little more than paying attention to patterns and figuring out increasingly refined ways to explain them.
