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.
