<br/><br/> "If your "goal" is to learn how STEM is a big part of the sport of soccer, this book is for you. This incredible game of skill and stamina is also one of science. How does the soccer ball bend like that? Why does the ball look like that? What makes that goalie so good? This book tackles all this and more. STEM in Soccer explores the effects of all the forces acting on a soccer ball, including the phenomenon known as the Magnus effect. STEM lovers and soccer fans alike will get a real kick out of it."--from back cover.
