Reviews
[I]t's a great textbook for a physics course for non-scientists, and there's plenty of stuff in there to interest scientists as well. -- Brian Clegg, Popular Science, [T]his handsome volume merits a very wide readership if we are to make the most of it and of everything else for that matter. ---Arthur B. Shostak, European Legacy, "Modern science and technology have the power to shape the world we live in, for good or for evil. Muller, himself a brilliant, creative scientist, has distilled the most important scientific principles that define our choices, and has presented them clearly and objectively. To make wise decisions, not only future presidents, but future business and community leaders, and thoughtful citizens generally, need the information in this book." --Frank Wilczek, Nobel Prize--winning physicist, Muller does a very good job of comprehensively describing the physics base of the technological infrastructure of our social world. -- Choice, "Anyone who aspires to be president (of any enlightened organization)--or for that matter, anyone who would like to be led by an informed president--should read this book. Extraterrestrials would surely be amazed that the citizens of the most powerful country on earth routinely elect presidents who proudly profess to know nothing about science and technology. We can only dream that one day presidential debates will include a quiz based on this book." --A. Zee, author of Fearful Symmetry, "'Physics for Future Presidents' is a course, yes (with the professor's best seller, and soon its sequel, serving as textbook), but it is really more a tour de force. Richard A. Muller presents an astonishing amount of information on atoms, antimatter and other subjects. But since these are actual lectures, recorded in a hall on the Berkeley campus. . . . It's all highly entertaining and educational, although it's hard to imagine being able to absorb it all. The course is geared for nonscientists, billed as being long on concepts and short on math, and covers topics like radioactivity, climate change and waves of all kinds. Yet it doesn't spare details."-- Henry Fountain, New York Times, "Clear, inviting, and humorous, this is the first nonquantitative book I've seen that covers all the topics of physics. The introduction of current social and political issues is excellent. Students will want to read this book from cover to cover. It could increase scientific literacy significantly." --Mark Oreglia, University of Chicago, One of Choice's Compilation of Significant University Press Titles for Undergraduates for 2010-2011, 'Physics for Future Presidents' is a course, yes (with the professor's best seller, and soon its sequel, serving as textbook), but it is really more a tour de force.

Shostak, European Legacy, " Physics and Technology for Future Presidents provides a new answer to an old problem: how to teach physics to nontechnical students. Richard Muller does not 'dumb down' the technical aspects of physics; he skips them altogether and focuses on physics results rather than methods. Fun to read and accessible to general readers, this book presents a lot of interesting physics facts." --Vadim Kaplunovsky, University of Texas, Austin, [I]t's a great textbook for a physics course for non-scientists, and there's plenty of stuff in there to interest scientists as well. ---Brian Clegg, Popular Science, "Muller does a very good job of comprehensively describing the physics base of the technological infrastructure of our social world."-- Choice, "[T]his handsome volume merits a very wide readership if we are to make the most of it and of everything else for that matter." ---Arthur B.

Synopsis
Physics and Technology for Future Presidents contains the essential physics that students need in order to understand today's core science and technology issues, and to become the next generation of world leaders. From the physics of energy to climate change, and from spy technology to quantum computers, this is the only textbook to focus on the modern physics affecting the decisions of political leaders and CEOs and, consequently, the lives of every citizen. How practical are alternative energy sources? Can satellites really read license plates from space? What is the quantum physics behind iPods and supermarket scanners? And how much should we fear a terrorist nuke? This lively book empowers students possessing any level of scientific background with the tools they need to make informed decisions and to argue their views persuasively with anyone--expert or otherwise. Based on Richard Muller's renowned course at Berkeley, the book explores critical physics topics: energy and power, atoms and heat, gravity and space, nuclei and radioactivity, chain reactions and atomic bombs, electricity and magnetism, waves, light, invisible light, climate change, quantum physics, and relativity. Muller engages readers through many intriguing examples, helpful facts to remember, a fun-to-read text, and an emphasis on real-world problems rather than mathematical computation. He includes chapter summaries, essay and discussion questions, Internet research topics, and handy tips for instructors to make the classroom experience more rewarding. Accessible and entertaining, Physics and Technology for Future Presidents gives students the scientific fluency they need to become well-rounded leaders in a world driven by science and technology. A restricted instructor's manual is available to teachers. Contact the publisher for more information.

- o***o (821)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufFast shipping A++ plus on that.. as described and reasonable prices… But for an antique book I would think 🤔 it should of been better packed… very poor poor packaging, it only had two thin layers of tiny bubbles wrapped and slipped in on a plastic shipping bag.. other than that mistake overall I’m satisfied and thank god it didn’t get so damaged on shipping.
- k***k (4230)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat DVD Set! Packed well and sent fast! Nice seller, great communication! DVD set is as described –new, nice and clean! Great price - I am very pleased with the item and service so would definitely buy from again and will be watching for more great deals! Thank you so much for a fast, easy and honest transaction - it is a pleasure to deal with this 5 star seller!!!
- 9***e (1539)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter Kaufgiving my 100% five star feedback for a great deal a super seller- I made an offer and he responded- and Item shipped out in no time. All nicely protected in bubble wrap so the book looks essentially Brand new- will make for an interesting Read- to say the least all the many stories on tour- and with the touring band of Frank zappa- all that Crazi-ness so a positive Great experience from top-rate seller- Thanks
