The Physics of Cricket
Nottingham University Press (Verlag)
978-1-78918-314-6 (ISBN)
This book looks at the science behind cricket – not just physics – explaining to the armchair fan and the sportsman alike how many different branches of science come together on a cricket field to produce the end result that is the game that we watch with such passion. This is done in a way that should be understandable to the intelligent layman and to people with a basic grounding in science, but illustrative to people with a deeper understanding of the principles involved.
Mark Kidger is an ardent cricket fan. He gave his first astronomy talk at Bristol Astronomical Society at 14 years old. Since he has written about and lectured on diverse science topics from the Star of Bethlehem to climate change. He has appeared on radio and television in many countries and has appeared in several documentaries including the BBC’s “EarthStory”, “Star of Bethlehem” (2008) and Arte’s “The Three Kings: tracing the myth” (2008), as well as appearing four times on the BBC’s “The Sky at Night”. Mark has written four popular books on astronomy. He has also written for numerous magazines and newspapers including writing a monthly column on comets and meteors for the Spanish astronomy magazine “Tribuna de Astronomia”. Since 2006 he has worked for the European Space Agency’s Herschel Space Observatory, the largest telescope ever to be launched into space.
