Why do rivers meander? How do you make a glass sing? What laws
govern the shape of drops and bubbles? What happens when we cook a
roast? All of these questions, and many more, are answered in this
book.A true invitation to wonder about aspects of our daily lives,
this book investigates the physics that underlies these
observations. The authors relate this to the most recent advances
in the discipline, and even provide an introduction to the
mysteries of quantum mechanics and superconductivity, while
detailing the countless resulting applications, from MRI to quantum
cryptography.In each chapter, the reader will discover the
innumerable facets of a kaleidoscope of phenomena where
ground-breaking results, rewarded by Nobel Prizes, are presented
side by side with seemingly insignificant experiments.
