Welcome to Science of Everyday Things. Our aim is to explain how scientific phenomena can be understood by observing common, real-world events. From luminescence to echolocation to buoyancy, the series will illustrate the chief principles that underlay these phenomena and explore their application in everyday life. To encourage cross-disciplinary study, the entries will draw on applications from a wide variety of fields and endeavors.
Science of Everyday Things initially comprises four volumes:
Volume 1: Real-Life Chemistry
Volume 2: Real-Life Physics
Volume 3: Real-Life Biology
Volume 4: Real-Life Earth Science
Future supplements to the series will expand coverage of these four areas and explore new areas, such as mathematics.
