My usual tactic is to ask for a book I've been looking forward to reading for a while. On Sunday, I'll be hopefully reading 'why does e=mc2' by Brian Cox whilst sipping whisky and letting the in-laws etc get on with it. Hopefully it's a decent read.
The book ... give(s) a readable introduction to the three superfluids of low temperature physics. A short chapter describing experimental techniques is included. The emphasis throughout is on physical principles rather than technical detail, with the aim of introducing the subject in an accessible yet authoritative wayWork in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

and obviously an ideal book to read while sipping a good whisky.Comment

Had a family do a few months back. My nephews are mostly enjoyably wierd but one has always been rather quiet and dull, except on this occasion when he was really animated. We all said "he must have something on the side" and a month or two later his wife found out he had. Never pays to let it show you are having fun.bloggoth
