註釋
Wine is radioactive? Organic foods have more poison in them than those grown with pesticides? Best-selling author Richard A. Muller enlightens us.
Richard A. Muller demonstrated in his recent bestseller,
Physics for Future Presidents
, that he has a unique talent for delivering the “aha” moment—making difficult topics accessible. In
The Instant Physicist
he shows his ability to entertain, too, by presenting the best of the scientific curiosities he has assembled over his distinguished career. Assisted by award-winning cartoonist Joey Manfre, who has created an original color cartoon for each “physics bite,” Muller will have readers chuckling while they’re absorbing more science than they ever thought possible. From the surprising (chocolate has more energy in it than TNT) to the scary (even kids can make a bomb), this book contains a revelation on every page. Once finished with this page-turner, readers will be the stars of their next cocktail party.
The book consists of a color cartoon on each right-hand page and explanatory text on the left.
