At Last!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
At last the author of "Alice in Quantumland" has written another parody, mixing a well-known tale with modern quantum physics. My son enjoyed "Alice in Quantumland" when he was eight, and he will enjoy "The Wizard of Quarks" (based - loosely - on "The Wizard of Oz") now as a teenager. The books are quite charming and witty for adults, as well.
