A whirlwind romp through everyday science perfect for fans of How Stuff Works Stuff You
Should Know and Netflix's Explained. In this quirky and endlessly surprising book scientist
and award-winning YouTuber Dr. Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim tells us about the amazing science behind
everyday things (like drinking water ) and not-so-everyday things (like space travel and baby
dinosaurs). Come along for the ride of a lifetime! Perfect for armchair scientists: a wide
range of information means readers will never get bored. Told over the course of a single day:
Mai shows the scientific reactions that occur from morning to bedtime. Quirky illustrations:
break up the text and help readers visualize scientific reactions. Surprising facts: learn why
an alarm clock triggers fight-or-flight what alcohol does to our bodies (and minds) and the
science behind the term love drunk (plus so much more). See the world in a new way: Mai shows
us that science is behind everything we do and feel. Accessible and fun: Mai shows us that we
don't have to be scientists to think like one. Chemistry for Breakfast turns the ordinary into
extraordinary explaining everything from heat conduction to expiration dates with a side of
states-of-matter and biological clocks. With Mai as your guide you'll find something
fascinating in everything around you. (You'll also sound smarter at dinner parties.)
