Fear of Physics: A Guide for the Perplexed [Book Review]

Abstract

What we have here is nothing less than an attempt to do the impossible. Fear of Physics, with an apology in the preface to Erica Jong, is subtitled A Guide for the Perplexed, Moses Maimonides unattributed. I'm sure Erica could have taught Maimonides a thing or two, but that's not what this book is about. This is definitely Maimonides, gently introducing Erica to the wisdom of the ages, meaning, of course, contemporary theoretical physics.
