Harold J. Morowitz - The Thermodynamics Of Pizza: Essays On Science And Everyday Life

Rutgers University Press 1992 Paperback, 247pp. Why do pizzas stay hot? Why are olives edible? How does ice carry electricity? Why is blood redder in the tropics? How much is a fingertip worth? Why do camps require health forms? What do drooping eyelids, electric eels, and curare have in common? What was the secret of the Sphinx? In fifty-plus essays, Harold J. Morowitz, a distinguished biophysicist with a very active sense of curiosity, muses over these and other questions that arise in the course of his daily life, his scientific research, and his miscellaneous reading. Morowitz's wit, warmth, and ability to make the most surprising connections will delight every reader. Owner's Name inside. Some tanning to text block edges. (ISBN: 9780813517742). Good.
