Product Description
Ever wonder how caffeine wakes you up, how a bill becomes a law, how holes form in Swiss cheese, or how the cream filling gets into a chocolate? Dr. Barbara Ann Kipfer, bestselling author of The Wish List and 4,000 Questions for Getting to Know Anyone and Everyone, explains in step-by-step detail the inner workings of everyday things. This compulsively readable trivia miscellany describes hundreds of processes, from popcorn popping to radio signal transmission to tango dancing.
• Clear and concise descriptions organized in alphabetical order
• Charmingly designed with dozens of illustrations, including phases of the moon, cloud formation, yoga moves, etc.
• A perfect novelty or gift book for all ages
