Are you interested in cool quantum mechanical type physics stuff but don’t really understand it? Do you know someone else who fits that bill? Do you like dogs? Are you looking for a last-minute Christmas gift? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, why not take a flyer on Chad Orzel’s new book, How to Teach Physics to Your Dog?
You probably suspect that I haven’t actually read it myself and I’m only saying this because Chad’s a good guy and I like his blog. Well, you’d be right. But I’ll bet it’s a fun book, and I don’t have any other last-minute gift ideas for you. The book website is here, complete with a PDF of Chapter One and a bunch of videos. Have fun.
POSTSCRIPT: Alternatively, how about a gift subscription to Mother Jones? Our publisher probably likes that idea better. But you can always do both!
