PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Sheddad Kaid-Salah Ferron is a science and physics enthusiast with degrees in physics and pharmacy. Since graduation, he has been teaching science to children, continuing to study physics, working in the pharmaceutical field and staring at the Universe with his telescope. He now writes popular science books. Eduard Altarriba is a graphic designer and illustrator. He runs Alababala, a studio producing games, exhibitions, animation, apps and practical and fun workbooks for children.
For My First Book of Quantum Physics: Physics Today, August 2018 Filled with colorful and playful illustrations by graphic designer Eduard Altarriba, the book provides a basic introduction for children as young as eight to the development and key concepts of that highly complex subject. Publishers Weekly, 8th October 2018 Educator Ferron takes a lively approach to quantum physics, detailing the history of classical physics and introducing key concepts. American Scientist, 30th November 2018 Written much like a coffee-table book for kids, this beautiful book excels at graphic design, with short sections and boxes where young readers can jump in and out of segments about famous scientists, classic experiments, basic concepts, and some experiments they can try themselves. From the periodic table to quantum entanglement, complicated topics are presented in an approachable way, and at least give young readers the basic concepts. Science, 4th December 2018 Quantum physics has an image problem. Spooky, wacky, strange--the adjectives often used to describe its inner workings--paint a picture of an esoteric discipline. Yet, it is the rules of quantum physics that dictate the structure of matter, that help interpret the signals from distant stars, and that make your smartphone run. This message is nicely conveyed in My First Book of Quantum Physics... The illustrations are clear, eye-catching, and consistent... The book leaves young readers with a sense of quantum physics as a vibrant, active pursuit that has and will continue to influence their lives in very real ways.
