Science in and Around You Alan Joseph Bauer

Did you know that the DNA in your body stretches from here to the moon 26,000 times and back? Did you know that there are over 10,000 compounds made out of carbon? Did you know that noise-cancelling headphones use waves to cancel the noise around you? We living in an amazing world, with wonders in and all around us. This book gives a general tour of the chemical, biological and physical world. It describes chemicals from the proton up and shows how our senses work. It also gives insight into the physical around us. The book is not a textbook but rather a general introduction, with some depth, in science and specifically biology, chemistry and physics. The book describes biological phenomena as well as chemical behavior. It is meant for the student, the person with no background in science, as well as the expert who might enjoy learning more about fields outside of his/her direct area of study. This book is general but quite detailed as to the exact sciences and offers a good introduction to physics, biology and chemistry
