Description
The amazing stories and fascinating facts behind the forces that make every moment of the day possible.
Why are bubbles round? How can you make fresh ice cream in minutes? And what does pigeon poo have to do with the birth of the Universe?

Once you start noticing the effects of these forces, you’ll begin to see everything around you in a different way. You’ll also discover clever tricks to help make your day more exciting and impress everyone you know.
Beautiful colour illustrations throughout by Hao Hao.
