String Theory for Dummies
Coming to bookstores November 2009!
Andrew Zimmerman Jones' first book, String Theory for Dummies, is being released by Wiley Publishing as part of their bestselling For Dummies line of books.
This is the guide for the average person into the theory that many physicists believe will reconcile the difficulties of quantum physics and general relativity - string theory. If successful, some hope that this theory will provide explanations into the origins of the universe and the matter in it, as well as the meaning of phenomena such as black holes, dark matter, and dark energy.
Unfortunately, string theory remains unproven - largely because the domain it claims to explain is likely beyond our current technological capacities to test. Some scientists hope that the Large Hadron Collider in Europe will, once it cranks up to its full power, reveal some clues that help support the growing picture that string theory is revealing.
Still others feel that string theory has little to tell us about the fundamental nature of our own universe.
To find out more about string theory and its critics, check out String Theory for Dummies, available in stores November 2009.
Heroes and Philosophy available now!
Also available are my essays from the collection Heroes and Philosophy: Buy the Book, Save the World, edited by David Kyle Johnson. This collection includes two essays that I was involved in:
- "The Science of Heroes: Flying Men, Immortal Samurai, and Destroying the Space-Time Continuum" by Andrew Zimmerman Jones
- "Pseudoscience, Scientific Revolutions, and Dr. Chandra Suresh" by Andrew Zimmerman Jones & David Kyle Johnson
Originally one single essay, they were judiciously split into two, so that each topic could be addressed more fully in each individual essay.
Portions of Heroes and Philosophy are available for free from Google Books.
You can also learn more about Heroes and Philosophy by watching an interview with fellow essayist Tyler Shores, in the Authors@Google program.
