Dan, 



This looks like a very fun read.  Looks like it might be an excellent gift for our local town and school libraries.  Thank you for sharing and for your inspiration.

Dear Ahmad & Franz: 

I grew-up reading George Gamow's brilliant "Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland" and 
"Mr. Tompkins Explores the Atom".  My copies have my early artistic attempts 
in crayon.  My dad placed them on the bedside table when I was 6 or 7 years 
old.  I must have read those books 100 times! 

"Mr Tompkins has become known and loved by many thousands of readers (since 
his first appearance over seventy years ago) as the bank clerk whose 
fantastic dreams and adventures lead him into a world inside the atom. 
George Gamow's classic provides a delightful explanation of the central 
concepts in modern physics, from atomic structure to relativity, and quantum 
theory to fusion and fission. Roger Penrose's new foreword introduces Mr 
Tompkins to a new generation of readers, and reviews his adventures in the 
light of current developments in physics today." 

They make dandy Winter Solstice presents!

I gave my daughters copies of these great books when they were old enough to 
read!

P.S. Franz - Did the Krampus come to Vienna yesterday?  Did you get a lump 
of coal?

Eloquently said indeed, particularly when the issue is put for public voting 
these days. A vote is a vote, and we, the "Know It All" people, are not that 
many to tip the voting results one way or another. 

We, again the "Know it All'ers", have failed miserably in simplifying the 
facts about anything radiation and nuclear, so that the topic becomes a 
public knowledge, enough to gain an educated vote, rather than keeping the 
science for experts only. 

Unfortunately, we inherited a bad habit of keeping things for ourselves, as 
most of the work done by the  nuclear pioneers was in clandestine nuclear 
projects, Manhattan to name the "worst" example.

>Franz, indeed that is so.  My impression is that much of the anti nuclear 
power sentiments are successfully promulgated because of the lack of 
scientific input in the education of many youngsters.  Much of this is due 
to misdirected governmental influences as discussed by Leslie Corrice, whose 
experiences as he discusses are primarily in the U.S.  My hope is that 
scientific professionals would be more vocal, not within Radsafe, but within 
lay persons' venues, after contemplating Leslie Corrice's presentations.
