This book provides answers to everyday questions that any curious mind would ask, like: Why is water blue ? What makes ice so slippery? How do we localize sound ? How do we keep our body temperature so nice and constant? How do we survive the sauna at 90 oC ? Why do large raindrops fall faster than small ones, and what exactly is their speed?
The answers are given in an accessible and playful way, and are illustrated with funny cartoons. In this book forty 'Physics in Daily Life' columns, which appeared earlier in Europhysics News, are brought together in one inspiring volume. As well as being a source of enjoyment and satisfying insights for anyone with some physics background, it also serves as a very good teaching tool for science students. This booklet is a feast of erudition and humour.
