Inhaltsangabe

Boojums All the Way Through is a collection of essays which deals in a variety of ways with the problem of communicating modern physics to both physicists and non-physicists. The author, Professor David Mermin, finds startlingly simple ways of presenting ideas that are traditionally regarded as complex.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"...covers an astonishing broad range...Mermin is a natural philosopher par excellence..." Physics World

"A warm, human, and humane view of physics." American Mathematical Monthly

"From the outset, Mermin's writing is fluid, interesting and most of all, fun! Mermin's humorous talents are indicative of his creative abilities and deep understanding of his subject. At times one is tempted to reflect upon other skilled communicators, and flattering parallels with Feynman, for example, are not unreasonable." Physics in Canada

"David Mermin is one of those rather rare scientists who can write with cleverness and style....is delightful for browsing." Peter Franken, Physics Today

"Readers from undergraduate science students to professional physicists and mathematicians will find this book both entertaining and full of ideas." Perry Smith, Mathematical Reviews
