“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, 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 endeavour.

Comment On Epithetical Books Fear of Physics: A Guide for the Perplexed

I Had a hard time reading this book for some reason. I have read Dr. Krauss research papers and magazine articles and other books, all well written. However this book was somewhat hard to grasp. either way, do not give up on Dr. Krauss, he is one of the best of the best but this book was his not his best.

I'm afraid that after muddling through this book I still have a fear of physics. I appreciated his "a cow is a circle" explanation, and I appreciated the math section. But, honestly, the last chapter dealing with conservation and symmetry I did not get at all. I'm sure I would get a lot more out of this book if I read it again, but at this point, I'm unwilling. I guess I assumed by the title that it would be more remedial than it was.

"To be scientifically illiterate is to remain essentially uncultured. And the chief virtue of a cultural activity--be it art, music, literature, or science--is the way it enriches our lives." Lawrence M. Krauss, Fear of Physics: A Guide for the PerplexedOne of my great loves is reading about physics and science. Richard Feynman, Niels Bohr, Newton, Einstein, etc., are my lower-case "g" gods. While my math and science background is just enough to get me in trouble, it is also enough to keep me

Thanks to Lawrence M. Krauss Physics started to excites me because apparently there's always something new to learn.

This book was a fantastic read. I am sure that some topics might be a bit more difficult to follow for someone completely new to the subjects, but I found the book very interesting. Krauss did a phenomenal job bringing difficult to understand scientific topics and comparing them to everyday things that make visualizing them much easier. Anyone that has a... fear of physics... (or even those with a non-scientist's understanding like me) should read this book. You'll come out thinking a lot more

I thought this book was something totally not about physics actually. I seem to have mislead myself and was surprised it was less about philosophy. I cannot rate it 0 due to my own cunt rage in getting the book without knowing what it was. I am not a physics person. I don't have time for physics. Nope.

There are a few gems in this book. 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.
