Thanks a lot, Chad."-- John Scalzi, author ofOld Man's WarandThe Rough Guide to the Universe, "Thanks to Chad Orzel and his endearing mutt Emmy, I finally understand Heisenberg's uncertainty principle! Not to mention a few crucial ideas that Emmy grasped perhaps more quickly than I.How to Teach Physics to Your Dogis a blessing for all those who never mastered -- or maybe even had the faintest glimmer about -- modern physics. I can't be the only one."-- Spencer Quinn, author ofDog on It, "I've long believed that everyone should be familiar with the wonders of quantum mechanics. I had no idea that 'everyone' would include dogs! Chad Orzel's book is a fast-moving and fun introduction to some of the deepest mysteries of modern physics. And Emmy is a star."-- Sean Carroll, author ofFrom Eternity to Here, "Orzel's whimsical take on quantum physics is a delight, and Emmy is the perfect Everyman, posing the questions we'd all like to ask about the intricacies of this most esoteric of subjects."-- Jennifer Ouellette, author ofThe Physics of the Buffyverse, "This charming little book is a lighthearted and amusing way for laypeople to learn about one of the strangest and most important aspects of modern science. It is also a great resource for practicing 'quantum mechanics' for people who want new ideas on how to more effectively explain their work to the public."-- William D.

SynopsisAn imaginative, tight, edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller which follows an historical mystery through to its nail-biting contemporary conclusion. Present Day: Cadair Idris, Snowdonia. Hannah Wilde flees to Llyn Gwyr, a remote mountain farmhouse, her husband bleeding to death on the passenger seat beside her. In the back of the car sits their seven year old daughter. Hannah's father is missing. Her mother is already dead. Mysterious strangers are converging on the mountain. And Hannah must decide who to trust - and who to sacrifice - if she's to defeat the predator who has stalked five generations of her family. 1979: Balliol College, Oxford. Charles Meredith, a brilliant, obsessive professor, clashes with a beautiful French woman in Balliol's library. When the woman disappears, and her identity is exposed as a sham, Charles is dragged into a terrifying pursuit. 1873: Gödöllö, Hungary. Lukas Balázs prepares for his végzet night, the celebration that symbolises his entry into adulthood. But the festivities are about to go horribly wrong, and only Lukas knows why. A centuries-old secret is about to unravel ... Jakab is coming., 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? 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., 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.
