pickSoft pick for me - an scientific history of how our understanding of gravity has changed from Newton to Einstein to quantum theory to string theory. A little background in physics is helpful, but expertise is not needed (I took an intro level college class in 2007, so…). Some sections dragged a bit (the chapter on tides 🫠), but I thought the last third was a great intro to quantum theory and string theory, which I knew very little about.
pickA cute little book for toddlers, embossed textures help little fingers gi through this little book. #ISpyBingoSeptember @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks
pickThis was an interesting book! It describes the history & impact of refrigeration in the world. I‘ve never considered how so much of my food has to be refrigerated at some point in its lifecycle! She touches on the energy use & environmental impact of the “cold chain” in the world as well, and compares refrigeration in the US to other countries like China & Rwanda. This is a great book if you have a general interest in history, culture, & science!
Part admirable commitment to science, part welcome distraction? 🫤
pickThis book is relatively short for an autobiography of a man who has truly lived a fascinating life and made amazing inventions that were ahead of his time. He shared about his parents and significant events in his childhood. As he humbly wrote about his inventions, he dropped interesting personal nuggets of information. His work ethic was incredible!
