Wheels in the Sky

Rotation is found everywhere but often overlooked. There are
rotating wheels on cars, wheels that spin in games of
chance, Ferris wheels at city carnivals, and other
manifestations of rotation that play an essential role in
virtually everything we do. Even more important is how
everyday phenomena driven by rotation make up life's
intrinsic components.

Supported by historical
information about the lives of individuals who have
contributed to the understanding of rotation, this book
delves into the physical principles that explain hurricanes,
trade winds, gravity measurements, and much more.

Rotation continues to play a large role in the world, and
it's possible that the universe itself rotates. Take a
journey defined by new ideas and little-known facts in
Wheels in the Sky, a must read for anyone interested in the
origin and workings of the universe.
