Review： "An interesting book." -- Choice
"I can gladly recommend this book to anyone wanting to refresh their physics basics or who would like to learn about the implications that physics has for other disciplines, and vice versa." --CERN Courier
"The volume can serve as a good resource book for a course on the scientific method for undergraduate students. It has interesting topics for classroom discussions, activities and projects. It is also an enjoyable read for practicing physicists as it gives a clear discussion of many difficult concepts and will aid them in making physics more accessible to the general public." --Current Science
Author： Robert K. Logan is Professor Emeritus in physics at the U. of Toronto and Chief Scientist at the Strategic Innovation Lab (sLab) at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Logan has edited collections about Canadian politics (The Way Ahead for Canada and Canada\'s Third Option) based on his experiences as one of Pierre Trudeau\'s policy advisers. He has written about media and communications (The Alphabet Effect, The Fifth Language and The Sixth Language) based on his experience of collaborating and publishing with Marshall McLuhan.
