Using the modern home as a springboard,
Atoms under the Floorboards
introduces the reader to
the fascinating and surprising scientific explanations behind a variety of common (and often entertainingly mundane) household phenomena, from gurgling drains and squeaky floorboards to rubbery custard and shiny shoes.
