Synopsis
"[Czerski's] quest to enhance humanity's everyday scientific literacy is timely and imperative."--Science, Storm in a Teacup is Helen Czerski's lively, entertaining, and richly informed introduction to the world of physics. Czerski provides the tools to alter the way we see everything around us by linking ordinary objects and occurrences, like popcorn popping, coffee stains, and fridge magnets, to big ideas like climate change, the energy crisis, or innovative medical testing. She provides answers to vexing questions: How do ducks keep their feet warm when walking on ice? Why does it take so long for ketchup to come out of a bottle? Why does milk, when added to tea, look like billowing storm clouds? In an engaging voice at once warm and witty, Czerski shares her stunning breadth of knowledge to lift the veil of familiarity from the ordinary., "[Czerski's] quest to enhance humanity's everyday scientific literacy is timely and imperative." --Science Storm in a Teacup is Helen Czerski's lively, entertaining, and richly informed introduction to the world of physics.

    The item I received was not the item that was described; I notified the seller the day I received the incorrect item and have not had any response. I followed up with the seller today, requesting that they at least acknowledge my message. The item described was BAC408 but the item received was BAC458. I sent the seller a photo of the item I received. Order number 03-13324-90041

    Backpack not as described. Listed in 'like new' condition. Found crumbs, coin, old 2018 ticket stub and marks inside bag. None of that is 'like new.' Seller stopped responding to reach a compromise. Wanted to inconvenience me by making me return it. Ebay was not helpful either. Also, ebay will automatically give positive feedback if you don't give your own so not sure I trust any reviews anymore. See pics. Highly unsatisfied.
