About this product

Product Information

An imaginative, tight, edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller which follows an historical mystery through to its nail-biting contemporary conclusion. Present Day: Cadair Idris, Snowdonia. Hannah Wilde flees to Llyn Gwyr, a remote mountain farmhouse, her husband bleeding to death on the passenger seat beside her. In the back of the car sits their seven year old daughter. Hannah's father is missing. Her mother is already dead. Mysterious strangers are converging on the mountain. And Hannah must decide who to trust - and who to sacrifice - if she's to defeat the predator who has stalked five generations of her family. 1979: Balliol College, Oxford. Charles Meredith, a brilliant, obsessive professor, clashes with a beautiful French woman in Balliol's library. When the woman disappears, and her identity is exposed as a sham, Charles is dragged into a terrifying pursuit. 1873: Gödöllö, Hungary. Lukas Balázs prepares for his végzet night, the celebration that symbolises his entry into adulthood. But the festivities are about to go horribly wrong, and only Lukas knows why. A centuries-old secret is about to unravel ... Jakab is coming.

"[D]on't let Orzel's laid back nature or clever sense of humor fool you-he is explaining some pretty serious stuff. A level-headed and confident guide, he takes Emmy (and the reader) through everything from wave-particle duality and superpositions to quantum tunneling and the so-called "many worlds" interpretation ("many worlds, many treats")."

Buckell, author ofHALO: The Cole Protocol, "My dog Kodi tells me that Chad Orzel explains physics with far more clarity and humor than I ever did, and that now she's just keeping me around for my opposable thumbs. Thanks a lot, Chad."-- John Scalzi, author ofOld Man's WarandThe Rough Guide to the Universe, "[D]on't let Orzel's laid back nature or clever sense of humor fool you-he is explaining some pretty serious stuff.

Not to mention a few crucial ideas that Emmy grasped perhaps more quickly than I.How to Teach Physics to Your Dogis a blessing for all those who never mastered -- or maybe even had the faintest glimmer about -- modern physics. I can't be the only one."-- Spencer Quinn, author ofDog on It, "I've long believed that everyone should be familiar with the wonders of quantum mechanics. I had no idea that 'everyone' would include dogs! Chad Orzel's book is a fast-moving and fun introduction to some of the deepest mysteries of modern physics. And Emmy is a star."-- Sean Carroll, author ofFrom Eternity to Here, "Orzel's whimsical take on quantum physics is a delight, and Emmy is the perfect Everyman, posing the questions we'd all like to ask about the intricacies of this most esoteric of subjects."-- Jennifer Ouellette, author ofThe Physics of the Buffyverse, "This charming little book is a lighthearted and amusing way for laypeople to learn about one of the strangest and most important aspects of modern science. It is also a great resource for practicing 'quantum mechanics' for people who want new ideas on how to more effectively explain their work to the public."-- William D.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
