#QUANTUM PHYSICS FOR BABIES SERIES#

In my post, The Ladybird Book of Quantum Mechanics, I talked about being what Americans would call a TA (we said tutor) in first-year computer science at the University of Edinburgh.

in placement algorithms and you work on Innovus, you don't get to lift your head up and see what is outside the trench very often. Surprisingly, people from engineering said similar things. People from our legal and HR departments came up to me and said it was the first time they had a clue what the company they worked for actually did.

Everyone loved it, and it was the most viewed presentation of the series that year. It was pretty basic, and I worried it was so simplistic it would be patronizing. I called it EDA 101 (now called Semiconductor 101). A wonderful way to help stimulate interest in math and science from an extremely early age, the Baby University series is highly recommended, especially for library collections intended for pre-Kindergarten children.About five years ago, I was asked to give a presentation as part of our distinguished speaker series giving an introduction to EDA. 'This series is entirely age-appropriate and baby-accessible, featuring bright colors and simple sentence structure it's just that instead of teaching words like 'hippopotamus' they teach words like 'electron'. 'Simple illustrations and simple explanations to launch your future rocket scientist.' - NPR, Science Friday 'Start 'em young with this STEM-centric board-book that promotes science literacy.' - Los Angeles Times His board books are illustrated with eye-catching graphics for baby geniuses and written with a tongue in cheek humour for their adult friends, who might also learn a thing or two about aerospace engineering.' - Plenty Magazine 'Physicist and father Chris Ferrie knows it's never too soon to learn Newton's three laws of motion or Einstein's theory of general relativity. 'These adorable board books teach baby quantum physics.' - The Bump (And the pictures of babies chewing on the covers are going to be #instaworthy.)' - Shelf Awareness for Readers the subject material will certainly be enjoyable for trendy caretakers to read aloud. 'In this board book series, Ferrie makes his knowledge accessible to the youngest of readers-and probably some adults, too. This kept our three year old's interest right until the end and she was happy to learn that she is now on her way to being a quantum physicist! There are few things cute than hearing a child under 5 saying quantum physicist.' - TheBabySpot.CA

The drawings are again so easy to understand. 'We were intrigued how Chris would master introducing quantum physics to such young minds but we were impressed! Neutrons, protons, atoms, electrons are explained as simply as possible. 'Whether you're expecting an amazing bundle of joy, or already have one or more, these new books by Chris Ferrie are perfect!' - Kelly's Thoughts on Things 'Lively explorations of physics, technology, and space.' - School Library Journal 'Ferrie delivers a cleanly designed introduction to how matter and energy interact on an atomic level.' - Publishers Weekly
