Tricks of Light and Sound

(4) 4-6 Science Behind series. After a brief introduction, Brasch answers thirteen specific questions about each physics subtopic (e.g., "Why Are Bubbles Always Round?") using main text, captioned photos, diagrams, and simple experiments. The broad scope of the questions, from whether a singer's voice can shatter glass to how roller coasters work, results in some superficiality, but the information is accurate and accessible. Ind. Review covers these Science Behind titles: Theme Parks, Playgrounds, and Toys and Tricks of Light and Sound.
