Why Science? We are fascinated by discovery: who discovered what, and how? This ranges from a look outward at the night sky with scientists like Kepler, astronauts like Neil Armstrong, to physicist like Einstein, chemists like Marie Curie and Linus Pauling, an inward look at psychologists such as Skinner and Maslow, and philosophers like Plato. Join Keating as he explores the pursuit of scientific discovery from his background as a physicists and a long career in the margins of the academic world.

Did you ever wonder why science is so boring? Maybe scientists are hoping you won’t find out quite how dumb they are… In The Art of Science, Gareth Morgan takes you on a romp through the ivory towers of Academe.With his no-nonsense style, he reveals just what goes on inside the fantastical world of 'scientification', and highlights how everyone could benefit greatly if they were to apply some of the insights and innovations described here for the first time. Is there any truth in the concepts of black holes or relativity? What about the hole in the ozone layer? Why can’t you kill a virus? Why can’t pregnant women get ulcers? Can continents really slide around the globe? How do aeroplanes fly? These are some of the questions this book asks; questions that scientists wish we wouldn’t! Morgan then goes on to propose some solutions to the problems science should have been addressing: How can we get pollution-free energy from the air? How could we build a disease-free environment? How did the people of Peckham get their teenagers to behave? Studies have shown that, when it comes to solving mazes, professors are no smarter than the laboratory rats they work with. Pit yourself against the world’s greatest thinkers and make up your own mind! The Art of Science will almost certainly be the most interesting book you have ever read, exposing much of the nonsense propounded by 20th century science.. It requires no special knowledge of science to enjoy it, and with its entertaining and informal style, it will appeal to any open-minded individual.

FINALIST for the Subaru Prize for Excellence in Science Books "This book shows that chemistry is not just relevant to life; it's really, really interesting."--Foreword Reviews, STARRED review A perfect book for readers of The Physics of Everyday Things and Storm in a Teacup Have you ever wondered why your alarm clock sends you spiraling? Or how toothpaste works on your teeth? Why do cakes and cookies sometimes turn out dry? (Hint: you may not be adding enough sugar.) In Chemistry for Breakfast, award-winning chemist and science communicator Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim reveals the amazing chemistry behind everyday things (like baking and toothpaste) and not-so-everyday things (like space travel). With a relatable, funny, and conversational style, she explains essential chemical processes everyone should know--and turns the ordinary into extraordinary. Over the course of a single day, Mai shows us that chemistry is everywhere: we just have to look for it. In the morning, her partner's much-too-loud alarm prompts a deep dive into biological clocks, fight-or-flight responses, and melatonin's role in making us sleepy. Before heading to the lab, she explains how the stress hormone cortisol helps wake us up, and brews her morning coffee with a side of heat conduction and states of matter. Mai continues her day with explainers of cell phone technology, food preservation, body odor, baking, the effects of alcohol, and the chemistry behind the expression "love drunk." All the while, she shows us what it's really like to be a working chemist, and fights against the stereotype of a nerd playing with test tubes in a lab coat. Filled with charming illustrations, laughter, and plenty of surprises, Chemistry for Breakfast is a perfect book for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of chemistry without having prior knowledge of the science. With Mai as your guide, you'll find something fascinating everywhere around you.

A scientist reviews his work, petroleum exploration and reserves, climate science and nonsense, 'green' energy, nuclear energy and bombs and some particularly grotesque aspects of history, religions and politics. The explanations are clear, funny and so irreverent that the author had to use a nom de plume to deflect the rage of his targets. Although the work is labelled fiction the reader will soon believe that very little, in fact, is. This writing will please those who understand the scientific discourse, detest war and propaganda, respect whistleblowers and are thankful for the wonderful work of Swift, Voltaire and Twain. All earth scientists and those who wonder where the stuff they pour in the tank of their car comes from as they stand at the pump will want to own this a page-turner.

Science on Stage is the first full-length study of the phenomenon of "science plays"--theatrical events that weave scientific content into the plot lines of the drama. The book investigates the tradition of science on the stage from the Renaissance to the present, focusing in particular on the current wave of science playwriting. Drawing on extensive interviews with playwrights and directors, Kirsten Shepherd-Barr discusses such works as Michael Frayn's Copenhagen and Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. She asks questions such as, What accounts for the surge of interest in putting science on the stage? What areas of science seem most popular with playwrights, and why? How has the tradition evolved throughout the centuries? What currents are defining it now? And what are some of the debates and controversies surrounding the use of science on stage? Organized by scientific themes, the book examines selected contemporary plays that represent a merging of theatrical form and scientific content--plays in which the science is literally enacted through the structure and performance of the play. Beginning with a discussion of Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, the book traces the history of how scientific ideas (quantum mechanics and fractals, for example) are dealt with in theatrical presentations. It discusses the relationship of science to society, the role of science in our lives, the complicated ethical considerations of science, and the accuracy of the portrayal of science in the dramatic context. The final chapter looks at some of the most recent and exciting developments in science playwriting that are taking the genre in innovative directions and challenging the audience's expectations of a science play. The book includes a comprehensive annotated list of four centuries of science plays, which will be useful for teachers, students, and general readers alike.
