Why a Curveball Curves The Incredible Science of Sports
What’s the science behind Tiger’s swing, Lance’s legs, or Andy Roddick’s serve? Focusing a scientific lens on athletic achievement, this book explains the biology, chemistry, and physics behind the winning stroke, hit, throw, dive, kick, punch and slam dunk. The issues discussed from Babe Ruth’s Home Run Secrets, to why swimming trunks don’t cut it anymore, or why a seemingly straight kick curves drastically just before its target—in other words, how to bend it like Beckham—plus so much more.
