Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the tradition of "The Wizard Of Oz", Gilmore takes the tale of a little girl from Kansas and transforms it into a description of the practically indescribable world of subatomic particles. Dorothy's encounter with the Witch of Mass, the Witch of Gravity, the Witch of Color, and the Weak Witch will help readers grasp the maddeningly elusive concepts of the foundations of modern physics.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Thousands of readers who were delighted by the adventures and science content of Alice in Quantumland are in for another treat. This time physicist Robert Gilmore takes us on a journey with Dorothy, following the yellow building block road through the land of the Wizard of Quarks. Using characters and situations based on the Wizard of Oz story, we learn along the way about the fascinating world of particle physics. Classes of particles, from quarks to leptons are shown in an atomic garden, where atoms and molecules are produced. See how Dorothy, The Tin Geek, and the Cowardly Lion experience the bizarre world of subatomic particles.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>From the reviews: </p> <p>"Gilmore is keenly aware that his field often proves daunting for those on the outside looking in. To counter this problem, he commandeers children¿s stories to help impart the concepts that drive modern physics." <em>SCIENCE NEWS</em></p> <p> </p><br>
