The Science of Everyday Life - Jay Ingram
KORTE INHOUD
Have you ever noticed how often you blink?Have you ever wondered why?Jay Ingram certainly has, and he sets out here to answer this and many other quizzical questions about what's intriguing in everyday events -- like, do you keep drier by walking or running through a rainstorm? What makes a knuckleball move that way? What do scientists have to say about men's and women's bathroom behaviour? While we've all wondered about some daily experiences, others are so strange we've never even considered them -- for example, what does asparagus do to your body chemistry? What does it mean when you show your tongue in public?Jay Ingram explains all this and more with his customary verve and wit, and in the process, helps us understand the weird, the wonderful -- and the everyday.
