  • "A cult classic-one of the first books to make the way physicists think about the world accessible to the general reader-now fully updated to keep pace with modern science."@en
  • "Draws on anecdotes and examples to explore a wide range of topics related to physics and its role in the real world."
  • ""Assume the cow is a sphere." So begins this lively, irreverent, and informative look at everything from the physics of boiling water to cutting-edge research at the observable limits of the universe. Rich with anecdotes and accessible examples (like the cow as sphere, which illustrates the principle of simplifying the world in order to explain it), Fear of Physics nimbly ranges over the tools and thought behind the world of modern physics, taking the mystery out of what is essentially a very human intellectual endeavor."
  • "Beschrijving van de aard van natuurkundig onderzoek aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de sterrenkunde en de kernfysica."
