Read Now Download Now
The mild-mannered bank clerk with the short attention span & vivid imagination has inspired, charmed & informed young & old alike since the publication of the hugely successful Mr Tompkins in Paperback (by George Gamow) in 1965. Now, this highly affable character returns to embark on a set of adventures that explore the extreme edges of the universe--the smallest, the largest, the fastest & the farthest. Just by following the experiences & dreams of Mr. Tompkins, readers discover & come to know the merry dance of cosmic mysteries, including: Einstein's theory of relativity, bizarre effects near light-speed, the birth & death of the universe, black holes, quarks, space warps & antimatter, the fuzzy world of the quantum & that ultimate cosmic mystery--love. The story of Mr. Tompkins' journey to the frontiers of modern physics will delight & inform all readers. Russell Stannard is a best-selling popular science writer & the author of the critically acclaimed Uncle Albert series of science books for children.
