Review : Elementary dear reader

Colin Bruce has caught the mystery and didacticism of Conan Doyle’s Dr
Watson in The Strange Case of Mrs Hudson’s Cat. Each story explains some
principle of modern physics, such as the equivalence of mass and energy or the
particle/wave duality of light. Published by Helix Books, $23, ISBN
0201461390.
