"Physics for Future Presidents" gives the reader the science behind the headlines - the tools of terrorists, the dangers of nuclear power and the reality of global warming. We live in complicated, dangerous times. They are also hypertechnical times. As citizens of the world today, we need to know - truly understand, not just rely on television's experts - if Iran's nascent nuclear capability is a genuine threat to the West, if biochemical weapons are likely to be developed by terrorists, if there are viable alternatives to fossil fuels, if nuclear power should be encouraged and if global warming is actually happening. This book is written in non-technical language on the science behind the concerns that the West faces in the immediate future. Even active readers of serious journalism will be surprised by the lessons that the book contains. It is essential information for all leaders - and citizens - of the twenty-first century.

穆勒（Richard A. Muller）美国伯克利加州大学物理学教授，曾荣获麦克阿瑟奖，俗称“天才奖”。他是政府首席顾问，作为有影响的专家频繁出现在美国公众电视网（(PBS)和英国广播公司(BBC)的专题纪实节目中。

穆勒给人的印象是一个可亲而又多才多艺的教授……感谢穆勒化解了我心里的阻隔。我希望麦凯恩和奥巴马也能分享他的智慧。
