{"product_id":"scrooges-cryptic-carol-robert-gilmore-9780387948003","title":"Scrooge's Cryptic Carol: Visions of Energy, Time, and Quantum Nature","description":"When the destination sign on Scrooges train reads \"HEAT DEATH\" instead of \"HEATHROW,\" when his dead partner Marleys face appears as a talking head in a department store TV, and when the street lights outside his flat begin acting strangely, it is a sign of a bad night to come. Like his famous ancestor, the modern Scrooge is about to be visited by ghosts. But its not his hard heart that needs opening; its his closed mind. Physicist Robert Gilmore, author of the popular Alice in Quantumland, presents here a delightful takeoff, where the three visitations represent Science Past, Present and Future. For everyone who wants a playful, painless yet surprisingly sophisticated introduction to the ideas of modern physics, this is a brilliant tour de force and a charming read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Gilmore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0387948007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780387948003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copernicus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.45w x 1.09d","brand":"Robert Gilmore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43980917965055,"sku":"9780387948003","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67c087be-bf42-4a26-a54c-39bc6316b344.jpg?v=1683252648","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/scrooges-cryptic-carol-robert-gilmore-9780387948003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
