Done at last! It got forgotten for a bit. A very fun read, but dang if it was all that "simple"! Good for science geeks, but if you're not, you might want to choose another book on the topic.

Not sure about "simple and fun," but definitely educational. It's been a long time since I studied any of this "stuff," but it's coming back.
