author: unknown
description: Do you ever wonder how that bacon you are eating was cured? How about that automatic transmission in you car, how does it work? How do X-rays see through your body? Why does solar heating work even on a sunless day? This is an exceptional series of books, which answers questions from A-Z with well written explanations as well as color pictures and graphics. This would be an excellent addition to any science classroom or for anyone who just asks: why does that work that way?
