Recommendation
College physics students often wear heavy metal T-shirts featuring Metallica or Iron Maiden. The geeky technical aspects of physics map to heavy metal – those who find one appealing often embrace the other. Physicist and amateur rocker Philip Moriarty’s wonderfully illustrated use of the metal music genre to explain a concept opaque to non-physicists will resonate with metal-loving mathematicians and curious physicists who love Judas Priest. It will also interest students who wonder if they have an affinity for physics.
