{"product_id":"the-physics-of-baseball-3rd-edition-1","title":"The Physics of Baseball (3rd Edition)","description":"Blending scientific fact and sports trivia, Robert Adair examines what a baseball or player in motion does-and why. How fast can a batted ball go? What effect do stitch patterns have on wind resistance? How far does a curve ball break? Who reaches first base faster after a bunt, a right- or left-handed batter? The answers are often surprising -- and always illuminating.\nThis newly revised third edition considers recent developments in the science of sport such as the neurophysiology of batting, bat vibration, and the character of the \"sweet spot.\" Faster pitchers, longer hitters, and enclosed stadiums also get a good, hard scientific look to determine their effects on the game.\nFilled with anecdotes about famous players and incidents, The Physics of Baseball provides fans with fascinating insights into America's favorite pastime.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060084367\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0060084367.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Adair, Robert K\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
