A playful and entertaining look at science on The Simpsons This amusing book explores science as presented on the longest-running and most popular animated TV series ever made: The Simpsons. Over the years, the show has examined such issues as genetic mutation, time travel, artificial intelligence, and even aliens. ""What's Science Ever Done for Us?"" examines these and many other topics through the lens of America's favorite cartoon. This spirited science guide will inform Simpsons fans and entertain science buffs with a delightful combination of fun and fact. It will be the perfect companion to the upcoming Simpsons movie. The Simpsons is a magnificent roadmap of modern issues in science. This completely unauthorized, informative, and fun exploration of the science and technology, connected with the world's most famous cartoon family, looks at classic episodes from the show to launch fascinating scientific discussions mixed with intriguing speculative ideas and a dose of humor. Could gravitational lensing create optical illusions, such as when Homer saw someone invisible to everyone else? Is the Coriolis effect strong enough to make all toilets in the Southern Hemisphere flush clockwise, as Bart was so keen to find out? If Earth were in peril, would it make sense to board a rocket, as Marge, Lisa, and Maggie did, and head to Mars? While Bart and Millhouse can't stop time and have fun forever, Paul Halpern explores the theoretical possibilities involving Einstein's theory of time dilation. Paul Halpern, PhD (Philadelphia, PA) is Professor of Physics and Mathematics at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia and a 2002 recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship. He is also the author of The Great Beyond (0-471-46595-X).Binding Type: Paperback

Too tight
Size: 4T, Color: Under the Sea
Very very very small. My 3yo is very skinny and the 4t it is too tight on him. Can't imagine how this would fit a less skinny kid.

Long to accommodate torsos and legs
Size: 8, Color: 4p Dino
These are well made pajamas. The tops and bottoms are longer than I have seen with other brands. I love that because we buy new pajamas when my son's pajama tops are too short or when the rise on the pants gets too low. My son is 6 years old, 55 lbs, and 4'1". I bought a size 8 for him and they fit with room to grow in all directions. The shorts come down to his knees and the shoulder seams are slightly off of his shoulders. Most importantly, the rise is high enough on the shorts and the shirt covers his stomach with length to spare. He should be able to wear these for a couple of years. I don't love the designs, but my kid doesn't really care what his clothes look like, so it works for us.

Adorable, Comfortable, and Durable PJs
Size: 3, Color: Redblue4p
I bought this pajama set for my son, and it was an instant hit he loves the fun dinosaur and space designs. The fabric is 100% cotton and feels soft and breathable, perfect for bedtime. After several washes, the colors are still vibrant, and the stitching is holding up really well with no shrinkage.
