On Atheist Talk radio on Sunday morning at 9am Central time, James Kakalios will be joining the gang at Minnesota Atheists to talk about his new book, The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics: A Math-Free Exploration of the Science that Made Our World(amzn/b&n/abe/pwll). It should be very entertaining. The book looks good, although I've only had a chance to flip through it so far…but it's right here by my side at the computer desk, and it's on my short list of books to get read over break.
We also have some videos by Jim Kakalios, and here's one…although I hesitate to put it here. The first time I put up one of his videos, the comments blew up and it turned into the precursor of today's endless thread. Let's not do that again, OK?
