HC w/ DJ - Mild damage to DJ includes tears and holes along edges and general wear, mild foxing. The book overall is in good condition except for the binding compromised on page 16 (see photos) black marker on bottom book block and some tears (looks like cat bite marks) on top edge of front cover (see photos). Clean text DESCRIPTION "Assume the cow is a sphere." So begins this lively, irreverent, and informative look at everything from the physics of boiling water to cutting-edge research at the observable limits of the universe. Rich with anecdotes and accessible examples, Fear of Physics nimbly ranges over the tools and thought behind the world of modern physics, taking the mystery out of what is essentially a very human intellectual endeavour.
