It would be hard to find someone who would learn nothing from this book. I think that most physicists would both benefit from and enjoy working through the arguments presented here. I recommend it highly. (Phillip Helbig, The Observatory, Vol. 136 (1250), February, 2016)
In Thanu Padmanabhans new book, Sleeping Beauties in Theoretical Physics: 26 Surprising Insights, he aims to impart to aspiring theorists some of the important connections and techniques
spanning gravitation, classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics that hes learned over his career. All in all, Sleeping Beauties in Theoretical Physics is a potentially excellent resource for those looking to add to their mental tool kit and sharpen their theoretical skills. (Ethan Siegel, Physics Today, November, 2015)
The collection is a highly suitable pedagogic material and should be a must read for anyone who is interested in Physics, either for a career or for pleasure. It should require no more expertise than is available to an advanced undergraduate student of Physics or allied disciplines. I recommend that this is definitely acquired by all college libraries. (R. Ramachandran, IAPT Physics Education, Vol. 31 (2), April-June, 2015)
