I thought it would be humorous, but I just can't get through it, which is saying a lot because I can read just about anything. I'm a science buff, and really enjoy Wizard of Oz, but the mix just doesn't work for me in this book. There was a time that whenever I went to the bookstore, I'd always have to leave with a book. I would usually hang out in the science fiction/fantasy area, until it seemed that none of the books interested me (Shakespeare in Klingon!?). I then journeyed through the literature and drama sections, and soon found myself in the little gem of the mathematics and science section. Nestled between books on Fermat's last theorem and Stephen Hawking telling the universe as it is, you'll find all manner of allegorical books describing in lay terms advanced mathematical and scientific concepts. One such book is The Wizard of Quarks. A retelling of The Wizard of Oz, only with a focus on quantum theory, Dorothy travels to a strange and mysterious world in which she learns the basics of quantum mechanics and Planck's constant. If you're at all interested in quantum theory, or allegorical books on science, or even an enormous fan of Oz spin-offs, then this is definitely a book for you. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Thousands of readers who were delighted by the adventures and science content of Alice in Quantumland are in for another treat. This time physicist Robert Gilmore takes us on a journey with Dorothy, following the yellow building block road through the land of the Wizard of Quarks. Using characters and situations based on the Wizard of Oz story, we learn along the way about the fascinating world of particle physics. Classes of particles, from quarks to leptons are shown in an atomic garden, where atoms and molecules are produced. See how Dorothy, The Tin Geek, and the Cowardly Lion experience the bizarre world of subatomic particles. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
