Nonfiction Read-a-Thon book #5: The Science of TV's The Big Bang Theory


I'm a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory, that show is so funny and I love all the characters. Now that the season is over, this should make for a nice little read.


Book: The Science of TV's The Big Bang Theory: Explanations Even Penny Would Understand by Dave Zobel with a foreword by Howard Wolowitz

Description:

Reveals the hard facts behind the laughter on TV’s most popular sitcom The highest-rated scripted show on TV, The Big Bang Theory often features Sheldon, Howard, Leonard, and Raj wisecracking about scientific principles as if Penny and the rest of us should know exactly what they’re talking about.

The Science of TV’s The Big Bang Theory lets all of us in on the punchline by breaking down the show’s scientific conversations. From an explanation of why Sheldon would think 73 is the best number, to an experiment involving the physical stature of Wolowitz women, to an argument refuting Sheldon’s assertion that engineers are the Oompa-Loompas of science, author Dave Zobel maintains a humorous and informative approach and gives readers enough knowledge to make them welcome on Sheldon’s couch.
