Do you know why the air feels and smells different after it rains? Or why birds don’t get electrocuted when they rest on electric power lines? Or what sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia is? And when you experience it?
If you’d like to find the answers to these questions - and many more, read Scientia and Tung KnowYa’s “How Things Work: Amazing Science Facts for Curious Kids & Teens.” Well-written, professionally formatted, and nicely illustrated by Kara Hanna N., the book is a valuable collection of common scientific curiosities and their explanations.
Although the book’s target audience is “curious kids and teens,” the book’s marketer should probably add “as well as their curious parents, grandparents, and teachers.” Having taught the high school sciences, I can honestly and unreservedly endorse this book as a valuable primer for senior and junior high school science students.
The book has explanations to certain anomalies that purists may take exception with, but the numbers are few and far between. All in all, “How Things Work” is a well-composed potpourri of scientific curiosities, as well as explanations that may surprise even the most learned reader.
