I have finished reading "Physics for Future Presidents" by Robert Muller. Although this got a rating of 4 at amazon.com and it covers a lot of interesting topics, i found the book to be terribly disappointing. This guy is an american conservative with a political agenda botches the facts and figures throughout his book to advance his goals. Some things advanced are true, like for example the importance of conservation, while some thing are plain false. He makes the claim for example that coal in america will last for a thousand years and in china they will last for 100, while here are the facts from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal#Major_coal_producers .
He also advances some thing about global warming that are very sketchy.
