In this playful and eye-opening history, physicist and cat parent Gregory Gbur explores how attempts to understand the cat-righting reflex have provided crucial insights into puzzles in mathematics, geophysics, neuroscience, and human space exploration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The result is an engaging tumble through physics, physiology, photography, and robotics to uncover, through scientific debate, the secret of the acrobatic performance known as cat-turning, the cat flip, and the cat twist. Readers learn the solution but also discover that the finer details still inspire heated arguments. As with other cat behavior, the more we investigate, the more surprises we discover.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45030233145495,"sku":"9780300231298","price":2376.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300231298.webp?v=1769205390","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/falling-felines-and-fundamental-physics-9780300231298","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
