Rainbow Science

Summary

Rainbows, those fleeting arcs of color, are more than just pretty sights; they're physics in action. Rainbow Science explores the atmospheric phenomena behind these optical wonders, revealing how light interacts with water droplets to create the vibrant displays we observe.

 
The book unpacks the science, starting with the basics of light refraction and reflection, explaining why rainbows consistently appear as arcs and how our viewing position matters. The book progresses systematically, building from fundamental principles to the specific conditions needed for rainbow formation, such as droplet size and sun angle.

 
Later chapters delve into rarer types like supernumerary rainbows and fog bows, each a result of unique atmospheric conditions. Sir Isaac Newton's work on optics laid the groundwork, and the book builds on this to explore wavelengths and angles of refraction, assuming only a basic science background.

 
What makes Rainbow Science unique is its accessible approach. Avoiding jargon, it explains complex concepts in plain language, suitable for anyone from science enthusiasts to students. It showcases how understanding rainbows connects to broader fields like meteorology and even the design of optical instruments.

 
The book emphasizes that every rainbow, no matter how rare, is a predictable outcome of physical laws, offering a deeper appreciation for the elegance of science.

More Numbers Every Day - How...

Micael Dahlen, Helge Thorbjørnsen

Your personal number detox: learn how numbers have taken control of your life—and how to get it back. How many hours of sleep did you get last week? How many steps did you walk today? How many friends do you have? It seems everywhere you go, you’re surrounded by numbers. You depend on them, so you think they’re dependable, neutral, exact. But the truth? Numbers lie. They mislead. They’re tricky, little manipulative devils. And they’re in the process of really messing things up for you. You just don’t know it yet.   Today we all strive to quantify everything: calories, likes, website traffic, and even friends. We measure ourselves against others and compare our real experiences to imagined averages. But in our rush to measure, we can lose sight of what matters. From internationally renowned economics professors Micael Dahlen and Helge Thorbjørnsen, More Numbers Every Day is a timely and powerful investigation—and warning—about the trouble numbers can bring us. With groundbreaking, empowering, sometimes frightening, and sometimes funny research, they describe how numbers creep into our heads and bodies, affecting how we think and feel. But numbers aren’t all bad. Sometimes they make us weaker, but sometimes they also make us stronger. More Numbers Every Day is more than just an exploration in to the somewhat mysterious, seemingly infinite pandemic of numbers. It’s a numerical vaccination—for a happier and more integrally healthy life.
