It would be hard to find someone who
would learn nothing from this book. I think that most physicists would both
benefit from and enjoy working through the arguments presented here. I
recommend it highly. (Phillip Helbig, The Observatory, Vol. 136 (1250),
February, 2016)
In Thanu Padmanabhan s new book,
Sleeping Beauties in Theoretical Physics: 26 Surprising Insights, he aims to
impart to aspiring theorists some of the important connections and techniques
spanning gravitation, classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum
mechanics that he s learned over his career. All in all, Sleeping Beauties
in Theoretical Physics is a potentially excellent resource for those looking to
add to their mental tool kit and sharpen their theoretical skills. (Ethan
Siegel, Physics Today, November, 2015)
The collection is a highly suitable pedagogic material and should be a must read for anyone who is interested in Physics, either for a career or for pleasure. It should require no more expertise than is available to an advanced undergraduate student of Physics or allied disciplines. I recommend that this is definitely acquired by all college libraries. (R. Ramachandran, IAPT Physics Education, Vol. 31 (2), April-June, 2015)
