Look for these new non-fiction titles (part 3):

STORM IN A TEACUP by Helen Czerski is subtitled “The Physics of Everyday Life” and Czerski does an excellent job of describing the many instances where physics impacts us.  For example, she talks about the science behind popcorn popping and refrigerator magnets in a very accessible way.  General readership with an interest in science will certainly enjoy STORM IN A TEACUP and the entertaining responses to questions like “How do ducks keep their feet warm when walking on ice? Or why it takes so long for ketchup to come out of a bottle?”

Czerski is a physicist and recently contributed "A Week in the Life" article to The Wall Street Journal whose review of her book appears here.  She also is a BBC presenter.  The following is a short video clip of her looking for and explaining patterns, much as she does in her new book:

STORM IN A TEACUP received starred reviews from Library Journal and Publishers Weekly.It will be interesting to compare and contrast with the forthcoming (May 2017) The Physics of Everyday Things by James Kakalios.
