Ranging from playful to serious, Professor Bohren's lively and entertaining discussions employ a liberal mixture of humor and anecdote to debunk a host of scientific myths and render science lessons thoroughly understandable. Chapters include On a Clear Day You Can't See Forever, A Murder in Ceylon. The Green Flash, Physics on a Manure Heap, Indoor Rainbows, and Multiple Scattering at the Breakfast Table.The book rings with a unifying tone: the
