The Velocity of Honey by Jay Ingram
Why does the journey to a new location always take longer than the trip home? What is the science behind the theory of six degrees of separation? Why doesn't honey flow out in all directions? In this delightful and amusing text, Jay Ingram explores the extraordinary science behind ordinary happenings. Ingram, host of the Discovery Channel Canada's Daily Planet and best-selling author of The Science of Everyday Life has written an engrossing work which broadens our knowledge of the everyday world and deepens our appreciation for the mysteries of science. Addressing a diverse set of topics and reaching unorthodox conclusions, he explores the science behind proverbial expressions, delves into the uncharted territory of the connection between history and the contemporary scientific world, and highlights mysterious links between the worlds of art and science.
Jay Ingram was host of Discovery Channel Canada's Daily Planet from 1995 to 2011. When it premiered in 1995, it was the only hour-long, prime-time daily science show in the world. Prior to joining Discovery, Jay hosted CBC Radio's national science show, Quirks and Quarks, from 1979 to 1992. He was contributing editor to Owl magazine, and also wrote a weekly science column in the Toronto Star. Jay has also written 11 bestselling books, including The Daily Planet Book of Cool Ideas and Talk, Talk, Talk. In 2009, Ingram was made a member of the Order of Canada for his contributions toward making complex science accessible to the public--and for his leadership of future generations of science journalists. He has received the Sandford Fleming Medal from the Royal Canadian Institute for his efforts to popularize science, the Royal Society's McNeil Medal for the Public Awareness of Science, and the Michael Smith Award from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. He is a distinguished alumnus of the University of Alberta and has received five honorary doctorates.
