And even I learned something. Baby really seemed to like the simple pictures and bright shapes. Dad approves because it's more educational than the calculus book (which baby and I haven't read yet, but he has).Lccn 2016057598 Ocr tesseract 5.0.0-1-g862e Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Latin Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.9677 Ocr_module_version 0.0.15 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA-WL-1300123 Openlibrary_edition I gave this to my brother and sister-in-law for the birth of my nephew. They opened the gift at a baby shower. Many other guests laughed at the title, thinking it was a joke. Those people then marveled at how the book is NOT a gag gift; it is actually to ensure my nephew grows into the genius that his genes demand. :D This book, though has a cute premise, is not worth anything. The pictures are MS PAINT or similar quality. Nothing an infant would want to look at. The science is wrong. The grammar is atrocious. Here is the full text, with punctuation:

Written by an expert, Quantum Physics for Babies is a colorfully simple introduction to the principle that gives quantum physics its name. Babies (and grownups!) will discover that the wild world of atoms never comes to a standstill. With a tongue-in-cheek approach that adults will love, this installment of the Baby University board book series is the perfect way to introduce basic concepts to even the youngest scientists. After all, it's never too early to become a quantum physicist!

Graphic Design: The New Basics. 2nd ed., Princeton Architectural Press, 2015.Like the other science series for babies by Chris Ferrie, this book is quirky, full of little balls of all sorts, and attempts to explain some seriously difficult theories/ concepts/ scientific terminologies using ridiculously simple sentences aim at young kids. The title is misleading: this book is definitely not for babies. 2 year old little-AJ doesn't like it. The balls make no sense to him, and the words used in this book are unheard of. But mummy loves it, although mummy has many questions that she wishes to ask (but left without answers) after reading this (which might be the whole purpose of this book: triggering passion for a subject and encouraging more questions).

Simple basic drawing, easy to understand, yet still informative. Whether or not it turned my children into geniuses remains to be seen :) In this board book series, Ferrie makes his knowledge accessible to the youngest of readers—and probably some adults, too… the subject material will certainly be enjoyable for trendy caretakers to read aloud. (And the pictures of babies chewing on the covers are going to be #instaworthy.)" — Shelf Awareness for Readers

Considering I had no idea what a "quantum" was, this book taught me something. Seriously, why aren't all difficult subjects taught in this manner? The basics at least. I might have done better in school in those subjects at least. selectedStore.City }}, {{ selectedStore.State }} {{ selectedStore.Country }} {{ selectedStore.Zip }} I don't see how the authors can make this book simpler than what it already is. I wish someone can be there to answer those silly questions of mine, but well done to the efforts of making a "dummies" version of quantum computing for both children and adult "dummies".

Start ’em young with this STEM-centric board-book that promotes science literacy." — Los Angeles Times This article examines three board books which present scientific knowledge in a context for babies and toddlers. Although children’s science books have existed for generations explaining basic concepts and animal-habitat identification among other things, these board books are the start of a recent movement which presents sophisticated concepts such as Quantum Physics. But are these quirky books actually for toddlers, or for the parodic amusement of science-minded adults? Based on considerations of the cognitive requirements of science, use of picture books in acquisition of literacy, analysis of visual and linguistic design elements, accuracy of information, and the pre-science and future-looking potential of these books I argue that the ostensible purpose lies in encouraging young audiences toward science as they mature.

So apparently, a quantum bit (or a qubit) can be red or blue or anything at all (I am confused), many qubits make quantum data, and quantum data lives in a quantum computer. Quantum data cannot be copied, we cannot watch how a quantum computer works, and it solves really hard problems. I will be lying if I say I am not confused at all. The subject is definitely beyond me, but at least I can sort of repeat the really cool terminologies and explain them in baby ways to other "dummies" like myself, as long as the "dummy" doesn't ask me more questions.Ik moet me inhouden niet teveel te gaan typen over dit babyboek. Het komt er op neer dat als ik dit boek als baby/peuter had voorgelezen gekregen ik waarschijnlijk gewoon was weggelopen. Dit is overigens een hele serie (ik heb ook Quantum Entanglement for Babies gelezen, ook niet goed), terwijl het lijkt toch het meest op een uit de hand gelopen grap. Is ook gewoon in het Nederlands vertaald. Terwijl het is echt saai, niet interessant en ook niet echt een uitleg, meer een opsomming van feiten. A very simplified intro to data, computing, and the difference between normal computing and quantum computing. We were intrigued how Chris would master introducing quantum physics to such young minds but we were impressed! Neutrons, protons, atoms, electrons are explained as simply as possible. The drawings are again so easy to understand. This kept our three year old’s interest right until the end and she was happy to learn that she is now on her way to being a quantum physicist! There are few things cute than hearing a child under 5 saying quantum physicist." — TheBabySpot.CA This series is entirely age-appropriate and baby-accessible, featuring bright colors and simple sentence structure; it's just that instead of teaching words like "hippopotamus" they teach words like "electron". A wonderful way to help stimulate interest in math and science from an extremely early age, the Baby University series is highly recommended, especially for library collections intended for pre-Kindergarten children." — Midwest Book Review
