hey everyone,

My class was thinking about buying a present for our physics professors.
We are currently studying for A-Levels.
as it is his last year of teaching.

So I just wish to tell you the situtation
-our prof is graduated in physics and maths
-our prof told us that once he got graduated he got interested in quantum physics and is really interested in that branch
-our prof also told us he likes to read and know about the history of physics.

thus what I am asking you,
could you give my some good of books
in the categories mentioned
you think he would love to read?

thanks a lot
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I thimk you should go for a popular science book like the elegant universe (brian greene).
 
You said he was interested in history of physics then i would say "Archimedes to Hawkings"
