About the Book

Praise for Clouds in a Glass of Beer -- ..". informative and engagingly idiosyncratic ... brings the subject down to earth with offbeat, everyday examples and easy-to-follow experiments ... Both professionals and laymen can learn from this book ..." --The New York Times Book Review "A delightful book...." --Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society "A brilliant collection of intriguing examples of the physics of everyday phenomena, with the examples presented as puzzles." --Discover "We highly recommend Craig Bohren's book; you will certainly enjoy yourself while learning from the best. "--The Daily Mercury, Guelph (Ontario) Here is the sequel to Craig Bohren's popular Clouds in a Glass of Beer--the book that opened up the fascinating world of atmospheric physics to nonscientists. Like its predecessor--selected one of the "100 Best Products of the Year" by Curriculum Product News--its lively writing, fun, easy-to-perform experiments, and many photographs and illustrations offer you a great way to learn about a fascinating branch of science. And while it is an entertaining diversion for science enthusiasts, this book is something more. As David Jones--author of the renowned, "Daedalus" column, regularly appearing in Nature magazine--writes in his foreword, "Above all you will learn something of the scientist's approach to the world, that powerful combination of practical curiosity and developed skepticism."
