“The perfect resource for soccer enthusiasts, covering all things soccer. . . . This book would be an effective research resource for upper middle school and high school general science students and high school physics students. The book’s strength is its ability . . . to clearly explain difficult physics within the context of a popular sport.”—The Science Teacher
“ The Science of Soccer explores the world of physics through the lens of the world’s most popular sport, soccer. Taylor opens with a short history of soccer, then explains how scientific principles, such as friction, drag, and the Bernoulli effect, impact the game. Each principle is explained in great detail, with situational examples that can be found in a soccer game, and experiments are included to allow readers to observe the science.”—VOYA
