Synopsis
Plunges into the Universe is your anecdote to boring science text books. Uncle John and his loony lab partners will take you back to the Big Bang and forward to the distant future. You’ll see the science in everything around (and inside) you, and learn the truth about the most egregious science myths (such as—you can’t sweat like a pig” because pigs don’t sweat). How many amazing facts await your visual cortex in these 494 pages made up of atoms (print version) or bits and bytes (e-book)? As Carl Sagan would have said, Billions and Billions!” So put on your thinking cap and check out
Pluto denied
Kitchen chemistry
Football gets physics-al
Planet Earth’s sudden hot flashes
Food’s incredible journey...through you
The science of surfing, skating, and snowboarding
How they plugged the hole in the ozone layer
How defenseless” animals stay alive
Sci-fi that’s more fi than sci
Ancient astronomers
Know your clouds
And much, much more!

From the Back Cover
Find out just how entertaining the universe we live in can be! Uncle John Plunges into the Universe fights back against every textbook that makes science seem boring. Life Sciences: What are the weirdest solutions that different organisms have invented for the problems of survival? From the denizens of the Amazonian jungle to the microbes inside of your nose, from the giant squid to the prion, there are a vast number of weird biological topics to fascinate our community of bathroom readers. Earth Sciences: Plate tectonics, quicksand, undersea caves, boiling hot geysers, glaciers--this planet does funky stuff. How and why? Peel back the asphalt and concrete and see what is going on down there. Space Sciences: People are learning about space from bad sci-fi shows! Learn what's really up with gas giants, black holes, asteroid belts, cosmic radiation, and all that.
