ABSTRACT:
In this age of smartphones, artificial intelligence, supercolliders, supercomputers and other cutting-edge technology, we've lost touch with many of the basic science concepts that launched our information age. Bruce Benamren isn't pretending that science isn't tricky, but in simple, maths-free explanations and just-the-good-parts historical recaps, he shows that the greatest scientific discoveries and theories don't have to remain beyoud our grasp. How to Speak Science is a witty, yet revelatory exploration of the essential mysteries of the universe. Because if a goat can explain scientific theory, you can too.
