If you've been paying attention to our jam-packed events calendar lately, you'll have noticed that we've been getting some mighty impressive authors here, including Pulitzer Prize-winning historians David Hackett Fischer and Laurel Thatcher Ulrich (both in the same month--imagine that!)

Nobel Laureate Frank Wiczek visits RiverRun Bookstore

Now you can add to that roster a Nobel Laureate. Physicist Frank Wilczek has written a very accessible book on electrons, protons, neutrions, and other celestial matter. This is the kind of science that opens up aspects of the world that are always intriguing.

Frank Close, author of The Void, says "The Lightness of Being is a delightful celebration of the wonders of physics, told by one who has helped define the current frontiers. Wilczek's lightness of touch and wry humour make this book a joy to read."

Join us Wednesday, Nov. 19th at 7 p.m.

Wilczek will be giving a presentation and talk that's free and open to the public (as all of our events in the store are!). Hope to see you there, and if you can't make it, you can always pre-order a signed copy by clicking on the button in this blog.
