These two books do not help with the “white guy” perception (and sorry, not much with the crazy hair stereotype), but at least the students begin to see science as a living, breathing entity, rather than a bunch of math (with the most important formulas boxed up or presented in bold type) from a typical physics text. Frankly, most of them are not going to remember even the basic physics formulas a decade from now, but they will remember the topics from this book. If they can hold onto excitement which Krauss expresses in his book (you will NEVER read a better explanation of why we need scientific notation) I consider my job as well done. I am finally getting around to writing this review after years of assigning the book because my son had the chance to take a class with Krauss at ASU, which he adored. I waited until the grades were assigned to upload this review, finally getting this done is a small way of paying back for the joy of physics he has given indirectly to my students, and directly to my son. I also hope to do a small part in making physics a topic which does not induce cringing, but delight, and this book helps me to do so for my students.Physics isn't for sissies, and you have to put some effort into reading this, even if it is pretty dumbed-down stuff. If you can get through it and understand 80 of what he is writing, you will be ahead of 95 of your friends. Not written for the person with zero background, nor for the scientist, but those of us in the middle who know a little and want to know more.Shipped very fast and the book arrived in a good status, didn’t get any damage (shipped to China). It’s an excellent book - perfect content, beautiful printing. Everything is satisfying. Thank you very much for everything.Not a really a humorous approach but practical.http://www.alcantaracosmetica.com/images/editor/bose-awr1-1w-service-manual.xmlHowever, for those that have a sturdier knowledge on the topic, this book is a fascinating read and a great addition to ones understanding on the mysteries of physics; from a non-scientist perspective. Lawrence Krauss lands a few enlightening points, with a a big emphasis on the ubiquity of symmetry. With his fantastic penmanship the reader will get a deeper glimpse into the workings of physics.Krauss starts out at a welcome, remedial pace -- walking the reader through basic tenets of physics and mathematics. However, by the end of the book, Krauss has equipped the lay reader (like myself) to finally understand bleeding-edge concepts of physics like renormalization and symmetry-breaking. This book is for the enthusiastic learner, not the faint of heart.It was never going to be easy for the general reader to keep-up-with-the-play but nice to see the attempt Ray HFAdopting a structured approach, Krauss covers the processes (simplifying complex problems, orders of magnitude, etc.), progress (building on the existing body of knowledge and the connections between apparently disparate phenomena), and principles (specifically, scaling and symmetry) that contribute to the advance of theoretical physics. In the final chapter, he also allows himself the indulgence of speculating on the likelihood and desirability of a Theory of Everything. The book serves as a useful description of how scientists probe the complex and often hidden connections between existing scientific theories for new insights and illustrates how they (and, just as importantly, we) can be confident in their findings, even if at times, the results can be palpably counter-intuitive. This is a fascinating and worthwhile read that demonstrates clearly how the current theoretical ideas are on a secure intellectual footing: moreover, Krauss' easygoing style and a gentle humour is as engaging as it is illuminating and anybody with an interest in the scientific process will surely enjoy this book.http://www.drupalitalia.org/node/75746 Nonetheless, one cannot explain how physicists think without first describing what it is that they think about and it is here that Krauss seems to flounder. Whilst this book is more about physicists than it is about physics, a grasp of concepts such as relativity and symmetry are prerequisites to understanding the current direction of scientific research and, compared to other contemporary authors, some of Krauss' explanations of these ideas can seem clumsy and superficial. The result is a book that feels half-finished (or perhaps, twice as long as necessary) and thus, less than satisfying. Notwithstanding these reservations, Krauss' spherical cow and perpetual motion machine are wonderful devices for describing how physicists adopt a pragmatic approach to novel ideas and explaining rule of thumb concepts: in fact, they are so good that they are probably worth the cover price alone. Moreover, most people considering this book will already be grounded in some of the more arcane ideas of modern physics, which, to some extent, should mitigate these limitations. In summary, if you are seeking insight into how physicists go about their day jobs, you will doubtless find this text both enjoyable and informative. However, if you are looking for an introductory text in theoretical physics, there are titles that are, perhaps, more appropriate.I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with a passing interest in cosmology and the physics of the universe. This book might appear at first glance to be aimed at those readers that want only a very broad summary of physics, however Lawrence takes the reader through a tour of how physics has evolved over the last few hundred years to show how some key fundamental ideas (such as symmetry) now guide the whole of our current understanding of how the physical universe works. An excellent book.Krauss's sense of humour matches mine. I knew a fair bit of what is presented, but it is amusing, very easy to read and provided further insight.GERRYIKPUTUANDPARTNERS.COM/images/boss-ab-2-manual.pdfWhether you have fear of or enthusiasm for Physics, this is a darn good read.El profesor Krauss es un excelente comunicador.

Supplemented by Larry Gonick and Art Huffman's The Cartoon Guide to Physics, this is a primer on the wonders of physics. Library of Science selection. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.Highly recommended. - Diane M. Fortner, Univ. of California Lib., Berkeley Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.Physics for the sophisticated but nontechnical, maybe. Krauss is a theoretical physicist who teaches one of those physics-for-poets courses at Yale. This volume, though, is a lofty view of certain unifying themes with particular reference to particle physics and quantum mechanics. The first section deals with process, describing how physicists work by excluding the irrelevant. Thus a cow can be reduced to a sphere or maybe a sphere attached by a pipe to a smaller sphere. Galileo excluded the effects of the medium to demonstrate that all objects fall at the same rate, and so on.http://www.radioemka.com/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/162722136839dc---bread-machines-manuals.pdf Process also depends on mathematics, so Krauss enlarges on the use of orders-of- magnitude notation in science. In the second section, he explains how scientific revolutions (pace Thomas Kuhn) do not throw out the past so much as extend and revise theory to suit new scales of observation. So we go from Galileo and Newton to Einstein and special relativity to Hawking and black holes, with emphasis on how fundamental laws of force and motion hold at one scale but are revised at the quantum level. The last parts of the book are really very elegant discussions of unifying principles and symmetries, such as the equivalence of mass and energy and electricity and magnetism. All rights reserved.

To see what your friends thought of this book,In 2019, my take on this is quite different. Continues elsewhere. While my math and science background is just enough to get me in trouble, it is also enough to keep me coming back. A couple years ago I decided that I would drop my subscription to 'The Economist' for a year and instead subscribe to 'Science'. Every week I would read. It was like launching myself into an intellectual sphere that got more and more dense toward the center. I would jam easily with THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE and even IN BRIEF, but once I hit RESEARCH ARTICLES and the REPORTS I was usually forced to just dance around the abstract. But I loved it. It was like New York Times crossword puzzles. I found the more often I could finish a Wednesday the more answers I could find without help to the Thursday puzzles. That, I believe is the essence of what Krauss is trying to communicate in this book. Life is a joy. The search for answers is a thrill. Knowing how science works and where science IS deepens our understanding of our brief moment on this round rock in space. I love literature, but often GOOD literature tries to translate truths found in science. Just look at how closely Cormac McCarthy and Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo follow the discoveries of science. Knowledge is constantly bleeding between science, philosophy, and art. There is a nobility and a beauty to the search, the discovery, and understanding. If we aren't curious and aren't engaged, we might as well be dead or slaves. Krauss dedicates some time to explaining how scientists (physicists in particular) think. He scratches the surface of why this is successful (and even talks about when it hasn't been as successful). But the title of the book is misleading. This book is mostly anecdote. If you want to be told a bunch of random physics facts, read this book. If you're actually weary of physics, and feel it's beyond your grasp, and best left to the experts, don't read this book.

First, read about this history of science. You see, people need to first learn how we came to know the things we know. Telling science as a story, starting in antiquity, and blossoming into modern speculative cosmological theories. Telling science as a list of facts robs the reader of a good reason to believe any of it. Also, if you're considering the audio form of this book, be warned. It's read by the author. Don't get me wrong. I love to hear Krauss speak.However, there is one important piece that this book spends more time on, and personally, I find this piece needs to be spread more widely.However, there is one important piece that this book spends more time on, and personally, I find this piece needs to be spread more widely. In this sense, physics is still clearly guided by the same principles introduced by Galileo 400 years ago and indeed the very same principles I introduced at the beginning and throughout this book. All of our wonderful theories of nature involve approximations that we use with impunity. We are guided by ignoring the irrelevant. What is irrelevant is generally guided by considering the dimensional nature of physical quantities, which determine the scale of the problems we are interested in and those we can safely ignore. All the while we creatively try to adapt what has already worked to new situations. In so doing, we have revealed a remarkable hidden universe that exists beyond our limited human senses, a universe that is thus far simpler and more symmetric.The problem with physics is that the only people that can understand it are the very same people that are completely unable to translate it into forms that the masses can understand.

(Though the organizing story of the post nuclear gathering in ny is tongue in cheek enough.) Mostly, this made we wish that my physics teacher at Longview had been even halfway decent as a teacher or a physicist, because this book, especially the first half, makes it exciting and particularly interesting to boil most questions down into ones of magnitude and scale. Very glad for the re read, but I think my sciency heart of interest lies in cosmology rather than quantum weak forces. But I am apparently excited about bovine spheres. Wish I had done my actual science courses at an r2 or r1 school. Alas. One of the best science communicators around, Lawrence Krauss delivers with a book that is wonderfully informative and humourous. You'll never look at a cow quite the same way again.

He starts by talking about how physics is essentially a creative act figuring out how to discard as much unessential information as possibly. That launches him into a discussion about some of the basic ideas behind modern physics in relativity and quantum mechanics, and ends with an interesting relfection on what it means for a physics theory to be true.

Some theories work on different scales, can there be a theory which works on all scales. Does it matter? I think Krauss does an admirable job of making some rather complex ideas accessible to all. The weakest part of the book was some of his discussion on symmetry which got to be a bit rambly but included some gold nuggets such as his discussion of imaginary time and anti-particles. Still, they make up the fabric of my everyday life - so why didn't I make an effort to try to understand some of those laws.

Although It took quite an effort (at times it gave me the same sensation when you're trying to talk in a strange language: you feel like you have lost a considerable amount of your thinking power) and I didn't get it all (not by a long shot) - it still was a rewarding reading experience. For example: when Krauss writes about water being the only material that actually expands when temperatures drop below zero, he took me by surprise. I knew the fact, but I never released the consequences of that simple fact. Physical intuition (and the acquired ability to perform order of magnitude estimates and back-of-the napkin calculations) is more relevant now than ever, as we enter the understanding of complex socio-economic systems. Fantastic book by Lawrence Krauss; I almost wish this book had a live update (to include the Higgs Boson discovery and other more recent developments).

I'm left with the feeling that making sense of the universe is reserved for the scientific elite, the chosen ones. Disappointing. Can't say I am less perplexed by physics after reading this but it might be a great book for you if you're smart and had some physics in the university. Can't say I am less perplexed by physics after reading this but it might be a great book for you if you're smart and had some physics in the university. Definitely something I would need to read more than once to fully digest. I don't know if my comfort with mathematics helped with this book, but it certainly didn't hurt. That said, this was a general introduction to early theories in physics as well as an explanation of the implications of recent experiments on our understanding of the univers. The book also examines how early explanations laid the groundwork for later predictions and theories.
