Overview
The hidden elegance in everyday objects and physical mechanisms, from crumpled paper to sandcastles.
Hidden Wonders focuses on the objects that populate our everyday life--crumpled paper, woven fabric, a sand pile--but looks at them with a physicists' eye, revealing a hidden elegance in mundane physical mechanisms. In six chapters--Building, Shaping, Waving, From Sand Grains to Glass, Structures in Motion, Breaking--the authors present brief stories, set in locales that range from the Eiffel Tower to the Golden Gate Bridge, that illustrate the little wonders hidden in the mundane. Each story ends with a simple experiment that readers can perform in their kitchens.
