Wine is radioactive? Organic foods have more poison in them than\nthose grown with pesticides? Best-selling author Richard A. Muller\nenlightens us. Richard A. Muller demonstrated in his recent\nbestseller, Physics for Future Presidents, that he has a unique\ntalent for delivering the “aha” moment—making difficult topics\naccessible. In The Instant Physicist he shows his ability to\nentertain, too, by presenting the best of the scientific\ncuriosities he has assembled over his distinguished career.\nAssisted by award-winning cartoonist Joey Manfre, who has created\nan original color cartoon for each “physics bite,” Muller will have\nreaders chuckling while they’re absorbing more science than they\never thought possible. From the surprising (chocolate has more\nenergy in it than TNT) to the scary (even kids can make a bomb),\nthis book contains a revelation on every page. Once finished with\nthis page-turner, readers will be the stars of their next cocktail\nparty.
