Author: Steve
Silverman
Title: Einstein’s Refrigerator and other Tales from
the Flip Side of History
Description: This
book is made up of columns from Silverman’s website called Useless Information. As a high school science teacher, he wanted to
be able to catch his students' attention. He started finding historical/science tidbits
of information and putting them on his blog. They’re collected here in this
book.
Source: It was
free for Kindle.
Writing style: The
individual chapters are short and interesting, but there are no connections between
them.
Audience: High
school students probably would enjoy this book, as would people who enjoy
picking up trivia here and there.
Major ideas: There’s
a lot we don’t know about science history that we might be surprised to know.
Wrap-up: This
book was entertaining while I was on the treadmill. 3/5*
