The Trouble with Physics

July 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Hot Science, Life of Chris, Open Science, People, Scientific Culture, Teaching

I do not normally recommend books that I read to a wider public. Partly because I’m disappointed if someone dislikes a book that I loved, partly because I do not think that my taste is of interest to anyone, partly because 90% of my reading was written by Terry Pratchett. In addition, when it comes [...]
