Science Cartoons #3
Einstein Atomized: More Science Cartoons
Sidney Harris, acclaimed Dean of Scientific Humor, presents his most recent collection of cartoons. No scientific or technical topic is safe from the scope of his humor. Harriss cartoons have appeared in American Scientist, Playboy, The New Yorker, Discover, and Science, among many other popular magazines. Previous collections include Einstein Simplified, "You Want Proof? Ill Give You Proof," and From Personal Ads to Cloning Labs. "The humor in science that is most widely laughed at comes from nonscientists, like the cartoonist, Sidney Harris." NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

A collection of cartoons -- surprising enough about science.
Or engineering. And rather geeky, too. The mathematician who wondered what he was doing -- no Nobel prize in Math. Sam Glade, private scientist, explaining his charges. A scene with dinosaurs going "Moo," "Oink," or "Meow." The Seven Ages of Man -- based on the dwarfs in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
An excellent book for those who know a lot of science.
