This book is unevenly written. Much of it would be of value to the college-educated reader, much of it would not.
I have a doctorate in physical chemistry (Atkins' field) and could work through it fairly easily. I would not recommend it to my daughter (doctorate in biochemistry) and I am not sure about recommending it to my son (doctorate in solid state physics).
The discussion of temperatures below the absolute zero appears to have been put in just to be cute. |
