Lewis Carroll Epstein is the author of layman's books on physics that use an idiosyncratic mix of cartoons and single-page brain teasers to pull the reader into advanced concepts in classical mechanics, quantum theory, and relativity.
His books Thinking Physics and Thinking Physics is Gedanken Physics have been republished for almost 30 years, the former being on the Exploratorium recommended science reading list. He credits his teaching style to experience presenting technical testimony to trial juries and congressional hearings.Epstein, Lewis, Thinking Physics is Gedanken Physics,
