How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum RevivalIn the 1970s, an eccentric group of physicists in Berkeley, California, banded together to explore the wilder side of science. Dubbing themselves the "Fundamental Fysiks Group," they pursued an audacious, speculative approach to physics, studying quantum entanglement in terms of Eastern mysticism and psychic mind reading. As David Kaiser reveals, these unlikely heroes spun modern physics in a new direction, forcing mainstream physicists to pay

Part of an EXCELLENT series of books that I purchased for our grandson turning 2
Format: Hardcover
This along with the other “I love you” books in a series are absolutely amazing. I had no idea just how incredible and enjoyable this is for a toddler. I have to say, agreed, these are the best written for both the child and it’s parents. And the artwork is perfect which continues from book to book. A real find!

Decent book to help kids value mommy and daddy and the love they share with their children
Format: Hardcover
This is a decent book to help kids value mommy and daddy and the love they share with their children. It's got a few different stories in it for mommy, and the same for daddy. Half decent illustrations as well. Don't get too overly excited, it's not a very large book so I don't know if you really get a lot for the money but the concept and material within the book should help serve some purpose.
