You'll learn about the science of tennis and find the answer to questions like why a golf ball has dimples or why a boomerang comes back. Don't miss Brian Kaye's latest, you'll be amused and amazed - and learn some physics to boot.

I was a bad physics student in High School. I could see that there was something important being said there, but it was just so boring. That's why I received this book (as a gift) with little hope. I was hooked on from chapter one. The breadth of knowlege and the ease of exposure, combine to make a jewel of scientific reading. And I plan to make my kids read it in High School.
