From the Author: NEW TITLE, NEW PUBLICATION DATE
This book was previously titled "Why Do Batteries Die?--Scientific Answers to Everyday Questions", and was to be published in paperback in the spring of 1996. It is now finally being released (honest!) in hard cover in March 1997 under the new "Einstein" title. Anyway, it's the same fun book that explains everything you ever wondered about (almost) in plain language: How things work, why things happen, and why stuff behaves the way it does -- in the kitchen, around the house, in the garage, and in the great outdoors. Ever wonder how soap "knows" what's dirt? Why ice floats? Why Superman can't see through lead (or can he?)? Check it all out, and have a few laughs at the same time. It's an ain't-science-fun book for grownups. (But don't be surprised if your kids swipe it.)
