The Science of Everyday Life: Why Teapots Dribble, Toast Burns and Light Bulbs Shine by Marty Jopson

A lively, fun and well explained dive into the science that makes the thing we take for granted work. I particularly loved the discussion about the uniqueness of rainbows at the end.
Really interesting read, would definitely recommend to anyone with a curiosity about science.

Great fun, and pitched at the perfect level for a relative newcomer. Listened to the audiobook; will have to go through the text to get a bit more detail.

I absolutely love books that explain everyday phenomena, it imparts you with a sense of appreciation for the people behind the discoveries and the very aspect of nature that brings it forth. It’s also worth acknowledging the layman terminology used to better cater to all audiences , including science students. I’ve learned a lot of new things that will possibly make for good conversation (if my memory will allow it ha-ha)

A nice humerous journey through a few topics. Not massive depth on any of them, but still more than I'd considered there might be to learn. Good to dip in and out of.
