Physics for Future Presidents: The Science Behind the Headlines
Categories: Science & Math
Berkeley physicist Richard A. Muller explains the science that leaders and citizens need to understand to make good decisions. Based on his popular university course, the book covers energy, nuclear power and weapons, terrorism, space, global warming and new technologies, separating facts from myths. Muller explains the physics clearly and without equations, so that readers can judge policy debates for themselves. The book was published in 2008.
