From the preface: "if you start thinking about physics when you are cooking, flying, or just lazing next to a stream, then I will feel the book was worthwhile". Typically, the questions posed by the book are phenomena that many readers will have encountered, but not thought through physically. For example: "Why do many Candle s, especially small ones, flicker and pop in the last moments before burning out? What determines the Frequency of flickering?" (3.110). Walker's answer involves qualitative arguments of Capillarity , Negative Feedback , and Latent Heat Of Vaporization . |
