The Science of Spin by Roland Ennos

The Science of Spin by Roland Ennos

Its time to stop thinking in straight lines

'This is a wonderfully fascinating book with answers to so many everyday questions you never knew you needed to knowThe explanations are lucid and so clear that the one thing it doesn’t do is cause your head to spin.'

-- Mark Miodownik, author of Stuff Matters

‘More than a few authors have found success with books that look at a broad swath of history, ideas or science through the lens of a single topic… Roland Ennos elevates this approach to dizzying heights in The Science of Spin… The physics are fascinating.’

-- Wall Street Journal

'The book has a gentle, friendly tone... A book that provides a good overview of the science of rotation, and enthusiastically shows that spin can cause a global revolution in more ways than one.' 

-- TLS

'An original and highly engaging insight into how our universe works, encompassing black holes, the cotton mills of the industrial revolution, the biomechanics of walking and more!'

-- Paul Sen, author of Einstein's Fridge

‘The Science of Spin is a delightful book, equally entertaining and enlightening. Read it and you will come away with a better understanding of our world and how it works.’

-- Ricochet

'From the movement of cricket balls to the shielding of the Earth’s atmosphere and even black holes, this delightful and easy-to-follow book won’t leave your head spinning.'

-- Physics World
