"The Undercover Scientist: Investigating the Mishaps of Everyday Life" by Peter J. Bentley explores the science behind the everyday accidents and mishaps that we all experience. Bentley takes readers through a day when everything seems to go wrong, from sleeping through the alarm to battling with immovable superglue and explains the fascinating science behind these occurrences.
The book delves into questions like why sparks fly when you put metal in the microwave, why chili pepper juice hurts so much when it gets in your eyes, and why cheese can keep for weeks but milk goes off quickly. Bentley's aim is to demystify the science behind these common problems and show how understanding them can help us better navigate our daily lives.
