"... this book is a modest but worthy addition to the growing selection of texts in this area." Robert H March Physics Today, 1992 "This book is a result of a course in physics for students in the humanities and the social sciences at McGill University. It is at the same time an impressive summary of such a challenging and extremely difficult operation. At a time when any such attempts are deprecatingly referred to as 'physics for the poets', Professor Wallace's book provides a concrete example that the job is both feasible and can be done well." K Gavroglu European Journal of Physics, 1992
