January 2012 Physics Books

A Universe From Nothing by Lawrence KraussEvery month, I get physics books from all over the place. I only get an opportunity to review a fraction of these books, though I feel bad about each one that I have to pass up. Plus, it's kind of hard to remember which books came out in a given year when I'm working on my "Best of the year" posts in December.

To help streamline things, I will now offer a monthly post that lists the upcoming physics books I feel are the most relevant to readers of this blog. I've posted my first one, collecting a list of the major physics books for January 2012. Don't worry, reviews will still come ... but this post will include books that I know won't get a full review but are still worth getting out there.

Leave a comment if you know of any upcoming books that I've missed!

More Big Bang Theory Science!

The Big Bang Theory - Season One

First, I have posted an article about the most recent season 5 episode, "The Speckerman Recurrence," which features Sheldon watching the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics awards streaming live online. This episode, therefore, took place on December 10, 2011.

Also, I've posted three more "classics" from season one into our episode archives:

It's definitely fun to catch up on some of these earlier episodes. While the dynamic has certainly changed over the years, specifically with the integration of Amy & Bernadette as regular female characters, the show's done a very good job of maintaining itself. Here's hoping that there are many more seasons of science-filled mirth in store for us!
