Too many people think physics is difficult . . . because it involves doing
sums, and because good teachers are hard to find. Roger Blin-Stoyle is not only
a dedicated educationalist but also a distinguished physicist and Fellow of the
Royal Society. Eureka! Physics of Particles, Matter and the Universe
communicates his enthusiasm in 200 pages that range convincingly from everyday
experience to cosmology and philosophy. The writing is always lucid, sometimes
formal. Highly recommended for all you interested laypersons—and as an
excellent overview for sixth-formers and students. Published by the Institute of
Physics, £12/$24, ISBN 0750304162.
