This book is in its second edition and an extract of it is used in a textbook for Catalan middle schoolers.

La Ciència del Futbol (“The Science in Soccer”, 2004)

The Science in Soccer (Editorial Empuries, 2004) uses soccer examples to convey science. The book is organized in chapters related to various soccer subjects (“The ball”, “The field”, “The player”, etc.). Inside each chapter we find the answers to questions such as what it would be like to play soccer in each of the planets of the Solar System, why the ball is more than one meter ahead of where we think it really is in a 100 km/h kick (due to delays in the transmission of the nervous impulse), or why soccer balls are made of 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, etc. This book is also available in e-reader format.
