Everywhere, things spin--wheels turn, motors hum, tornadoes roar.
This book explains the history and basic physics of spinning
objects, from yo-yos, drills, propellers, and washing machines, to
ballet dancers, dust devils, and bacteria. The book gives
instructive, entertaining accounts of everyday sights: Does a curve
ball really curve? Why do figure skaters tuck in their arms? Can
you make a disposable pen fly? And how does a falling cat always
land on its feet? Answers to these questions (and many others) tell
the amazing story of spin.
