Title: Typos and forced humor
Review: At first blush, in the bookstore, this seemed like a great book--but the typos in chapter 2 are infuriating! For example: on page 15 of 2003 edition you travel 15 miles in 3.0 minutes and their answer is 30 miles an hour! Nooooo!!!! Please, this is supposed to help idiots--not be written and proofread by idiots... This is very sloppy publishing and it cannot be tolerated!A few pages later, the reader is treated to a defintion of acceleration in which a crucial symbol is completely missing.If not for the typos I would have overlooked the forced enthusiasm in the preamble to the discussion on dimensional analysis, but "All right. Hold on to your hats. Here goes!" begins to annoy one after wasting too much time finding their typos...This is my first Idiots Guide, and it will likely be my last! Shame on the Penguin Group, the parent company!
