Sample Book Insights:
#1 The walls of refrigerators are typically insulated with polyurethane foam, which was originally blown with chlorofluorocarbons. The refrigerant was later replaced by hydrofluorocarbons, which contribute to the greenhouse effect.
#2 The snake that coiled around a staff is a symbol of healing, and it was originally found in Greece. It may be that snakes have some healing properties because their mouths are vulnerable to damage as they ingest their prey.
#3 The workers who built the underwater foundations of the Brooklyn Bridge often experienced excruciating pain when they returned to the surface of the Hudson River. It was caused by decompression sickness, but they referred to it as the bends.
#4 The snake that coiled around a staff is a symbol of healing, and it was originally found in Greece. The workers who built the underwater foundations of the Brooklyn Bridge often experienced excruciating pain when they returned to the surface of the Hudson River. It was caused by decompression sickness, but they referred to it as the bends.

The eye in the jar made some of the most important scientific observations in history. John Dalton, the English schoolteacher who, in the late years of the eighteenth century, formulated the atomic theory, was color-blind. He had inferred from the way that elements combined with each other that these fundamental building blocks of matter were made of atoms and that the atoms of any element were identical to each other but different in mass from the atoms of other elements.

#7

A scientific study in 2002 found thousands of parts per billion of acrylamide in chips, fries, and Swedish crispbread. The chemical is formed when certain amino acids react with glucose or sucrose under frying or baking conditions.

#8

The Fizz Keeper is a little hand pump that you can screw into the neck of an opened bottle in order to pressurize the contents and preserve the carbonation. But the presence of other gases does not matter.

Everything in the physical world depends on molecular action. Molecules are the fundamental components of matter. They are made up of atoms, which in turn are composed of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
