Quantoons: Metaphysical Illustrations by Thomas Bunk, ... (ISBN 0873552652)

Ways to Enjoy Quantoons - from one of the authors:
People can enhance their appreciation of the physical world through the windows of art, literary quotes or physics problems in Quantoons. Art types - Tomas Bunk has provided an insight into the world of physics that only a MAD magazine and Garbage Pail Kids artist could do. His written explanations of the creative art process that accompanies each Quantoon adds a richness to the art appreciation. It is remarkable to see how an artist without any physics background can merge physics content with artistic vision and make physics personal. Literary types - Each Quantoon is introduced with a quote from literary greats like Dante, Coleridge, Camus, Shakespeare or scientists like Faraday, Newton, Weyl or others like Garcia, Dylan, Jagger. Physics types - engaging and challenging physics problems (calculus used only rarely) with solutions. Students from high school to freshman physics to grad students will all find these problems to have interesting twists. Could certainly be a supplementary addition to freshman physics courses. Each problem is preceeded by an explanation of the relevant physics content.
