Fear of Physics: A Guide for the Perplexed

I totally loved the book. It's full of insightful points and connections that will put you in a state of awe. I got totally ecstatic while reading some of the chapters, made me remember why I loved physics in the first place. Even if you are very well trained in physics, I am sure you will find this book very enlightening and it will allow you to see things from a new and very beautiful perspective. Only one thing.. Non physicists might become lost after the first few chapters. I think the book is more suited for physics students than for the layman.

It was a pure joy to read this book. Many people that are serious about physics refuse to read a book named Fear of physics. Big mistake! I love this book. Physics ideas at their best. Thank you, Dr. Krauss.

Dr. Krauss uses analogies like Feynman does to create lucid explanations for those who are interested in physics but don't have a degree in math or physics. It is aptly described as "A Guide for the Perplexed". Having an avid interest in physics I found it ideal. I have a degree in engineering science but am weak in the kind of math required for theoretical physics. If you want to know more about physics but can't seem to find a book that you can understand, you should read this book!

Krauss is always engaging, thoughtful, thorough, yet easy to understand. A great introduction to quantum mechanics and theoretical physics.
