THE SCIENCE OF TV’ S THE BIG BANG THEORY: EXPLANATIONS EVEN PENNY WOULD UNDERSTAND
Book ID/图书代码: 00110914B75209
English Summary/英文概要: 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.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 以谢尔登,霍华德,伦纳德和拉杰为中心的高收视率的电视节目“生活大爆炸”往往将佩妮和我们其余人不知道他们在谈论什么的科学原则以俏皮话的形式讲出来。“生活大爆炸”通过搞笑的科学对话让我们所有人都乐不可支。例如为什么谢尔登会认为73是最好的数字,一个涉及沃洛维兹女性身材的实验,一个反驳谢尔登关于工程师是科学的奥柏伦柏人的说法的论点,作者戴夫•佐贝尔以幽默和增长见闻的方式带给读者足够的知识来欢迎谢尔登的沙发。(LNL)
