Physically Speaking Reviews

The book contains a wealth of information. One finds quotations that one reads for one's own amusement, and one feels the urge to use again and again. ... this book is bound to become successful because of the riches of its contents.
-The Chemical Intelligencer

This book is an especially delightful anthology of quotations ... Poetry, humor, history, fact, and wisdom are found here on every page ... The book merits the strongest recommendation and will probably encourage its readers to look for Statistically Speaking, an earlier work by the same authors.
