I’ve spent 25+ years teaching and “ communicating” science. As well as being a schoolteacher, I’ve worked with scientists and science institutions to help them explain their work to the public. This book is the culmination of all that work. Out in paperback Nov. 7th www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1529...
A sky blue book with a big upside down apple with white text on it saying “ALOM SHAHA WHY DON'T THINGS FALL UP?” 'A joyful exploration ... proving that science is for everyone' ROMA AGRAWAL A brilliant book' CHARLIE HIGSON Seven fundamental science questions explored and explained Book is on green background which has text saying: 'A great idea, beautifully executed.' - Brian Clegg, science writer 'It's one of the friendliest science books I've read. I'm sure many other people will agree. I have learnt (and remembered) so much, and so easily. It's the mango ice cream of science books.' - Hilary Mckay, Costa Prize winning novelist 'Shaha's many years of experience as a science teacher shine through every page. Not only is he such a natural 'explainer', but he has that rare gift of putting readers at ease without ever talking down to them. If you ever felt that science was not for you or too complicated to grasp then here is the teacher you'll wish you had at school' - Jim Al-Khalili, scientist, broadcaster, author Patient, clear, never patronizing, and constantly warm and humane, Why Don't Things Fall Up? presents the key concepts of science with infectious energy and enthusiasm. If you never got on with science, you've nothing to fear here, and everything to gain.' - Philip Ball, science writer and broadcaster "A gentle and reassuring journey through school science, perfect for polishing up both long-forgotten knowledge and confidence, and helping everyone to make science a part of their world. "- Helen Czerski, scientist, broadcaster, author 'Brings together science and storytelling in a joyful guide to life's big answers. With warmth, humour and humanity, Alom Shaha takes complex concepts and distils them into simple language...it's a vital corrective for anyone who has ever struggled with science.' - Kia Abdullah, author
