Absolutely Small: How Quantum Theory Explains Our Everyday World

Michael D. Fayer, Ph.D.

AMACOM, 2010

Absolutely Small presents (and demystifies) the world of quantum science like no book before. It explores scientific concepts—from particles of light, to probability, to states of matter, to what makes greenhouse gases bad—in considerable depth, but using examples from the everyday world.

Eric D. Beinhocker

Random House Business Books, 2007

…a brilliant, thought-provoking and wide-ranging book…anybody interested in understanding why we are where we are should read it. For me, it was more than the business book of 2006; it was the book of 2006. – The Financial Times

Natural Experiments of History

Edited by Jared Diamond and James A. Robinson

Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2010

“Natural Experiments of History is a short book packed with huge ideas. Its collected essays advocate how controlled experiments can be applied to the messy realities of human history, politics, culture, economics and the environment. It demonstrates productive interdisciplinary collaborations but also reveals gulfs between different cultures of academia”—Jon Christensen, Nature

The History of China’s Most Devastating Catastrophe, 1958-1962
