Despite its ubiquity, rotational force continues to baffle and surprise, and few people realize how it makes our planet habitable or how it has been tamed by engineers to make our lives more comfortable. Charting the development of engineering and technology from the earliest prehistoric drills to the gas turbine, critically acclaimed author and scientist Roland Ennos presents a riveting account of human ingenuity and the seemingly infinite ways spin affects our daily lives. He also shows how this new approach not only helps us better understand the world but also ourselves. After all, even our own bodies are complex systems of rotating joints and levers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArtfully moving between astrophysics and anthropology, \u003ci\u003eThe Science of Spin \u003c\/i\u003eshows how, whether natural or engineered, spin is really what makes the world go round.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87 x 8.35 x 5.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 09, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45439371542572,"sku":"9781982196554","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/VHppp79rKM9781982196554.webp?v=1775598626","url":"https:\/\/littleredgeneralstore.com\/products\/the-science-of-spin-how-rotational-forces-affect-everything-from-your-body-to-jet-engines-to-the-weather-paperback","provider":"Little Red General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
