Just a Few Bytes of Science and Technology

Have you ever wondered how we go about measuring a mountain, the earth's temperature, or the average sea level. Do you think crows are smart? Is the behavior of Brazil nuts in a can of mixed nuts unexpected? Are there really people who never forget a face or people who are actually tone deaf? Can you guess why a major electronics chip manufacturer would grow lettuce in one of their chip factories? All of these questions and various puzzling topics that appear in the news inspired the author to find answers and explanations. The result is this anthology that is both fun and easy to understand.
