Most of us are clueless when it comes to the physics that make our modern world so convenient. How is electricity transported from power stations to our toasters? What runs our computers and drives everything from preordering a book to a Google search for a preview of the cover? In The Physics of Everyday Things, James Kakalios, bestselling author of The Physics of Superheroes, takes us on an amazing journey into the wild subatomic world that underlies so much of what we use and take for granted every day. Breaking down the world of things into sections that outline a single day, Kakalios employs his signature clarity and cleverness to analyze, explain and enthrall us with the invisible principles that make up our lives.
