Entertaining and enlightening, his latest book uses examples from sports, literature, and nature, as well as from the varied worlds of science, to illustrate how scientists make sense of and explain the world around us. Grimvall's fun-to-read essays and easy-to-follow examples detail how order-of-magnitude estimation, extreme cases, dimensional analysis, and other modelling methods work. They also reveal how non-scientists absorb these concepts and use them at home, school, and work. Grimvall's simple, elegant explanations will help you tap into your inner scientist.
