Gregory J. Gbur is professor of physics and optical science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He contributed to the book Science Blogging: The Essential Guide and writes two blogs about horror and the history of science.
“Falling Felines and Fundamental Physics is a fascinating and
fast-moving journey of a book. And author Greg Gbur is a virtuoso
guide. The result is an addictively smart and funny don’t-miss
exploration of science, from free-falling cats to the history of
photography, quantum physics, eccentric scientists, and
more.”—Deborah Blum, author of The Poison Squad: One Chemist’s
Single-Minded Crusade for Food Safety at the Turn of the Twentieth
Century
“Even cats obey the laws of nature. In this engrossing book, Greg
Gbur uses cats’ mysterious ability to land on their feet to explore
how physics works in the real world.”—Sean Carroll, author of
Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of
Spacetime
“When the shelves in the science section of bookstores groan under
the weight of tomes concerning String Theory and the Higgs Boson,
this extremely well-written popular science book concerning such a
human-scale problem is refreshing.”—James Kakalios, author of The
Physics of Superheroes
