Learning the basic laws of physics
- mechanics, thermodynamics, relativity, quantum mechanics
- can be a struggle. But when that master of deduction, Sherlock Holmes, leads the way, those difficult concepts become crystal clear. Colin Bruce brings Holmes, Dr. Watson, Professor Challenger of Lost World fame, & other favourite Conan Doyle characters to life to solve a Baker Street dozen baffling science mysteries: Murder on a royal train
- divers dead of heatstroke at the bottom of an icy sea
- a mysterious lady whose brilliance is matched only by her evil
- an epidemic of insanity among the world's top scientists. Bruce works out the apparent paradoxes of special relativity & quantum theory in visual & logical terms. The effect is extremely lucid, & very entertaining for the armchair scientist in all of us.
