1 About this book
Using the modern home as a springboard, Atoms Under the Floorboards presents the fascinating and surprising scientific explanations behind a variety of common (and often entertainingly mundane) household phenomena, from gurgling drains and squeaky floorboards to rubbery custard and shiny shoes. Atoms Under the Floorboards won The American Institute of Physics 2016 Science Writing Award for Books and was named a Physics World Top 10 Book in 2015.
Good for readers who want: physics, popular science, and science.
