<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Original publication and copyright date: 2009.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Learn the basics of quantum physics with this clever, fun, and lighthearted introduction to modern physics based on a series of conversations with Chad Orzel and his dog Emmy.</b> <p/>When physics professor Chad Orzel went to the pound to adopt a dog, he never imagined Emmy. She wasn't just a friendly mutt who needed a home. Soon she was trying to use the strange ideas of quantum mechanics for the really important things in her life: chasing critters, getting treats, and going for walks. She peppered Chad with questions: Could she use quantum tunneling to get through the neighbor's fence and chase bunnies? What about quantum teleportation to catch squirrels before they climb out of reach? Where are all the universes in which Chad drops steak on the floor? <p/>With great humor and clarity, Chad Orzel explains to Emmy, and to human readers, just what quantum mechanics is and how it works--and why, although you can't use it to catch squirrels or eat steak, it's still bizarre, amazing, and important to every dog and human.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[D]on't let Orzel's laid back nature or clever sense of humor fool you--he is explaining some pretty serious stuff. A level-headed and confident guide, he takes Emmy (and the reader) through everything from wave-particle duality and superpositions to quantum tunneling and the so-called many worlds interpretation (many worlds, many treats)." -NewScientist.com<br>
