“The Science of TV’s The Big Bang Theory … covers an astonishing variety of material — a bathroom book in the very best sense of the word.… Zobel is a consistently entertaining but full-bore writer, so brace yourself for a fire hose of good puns, bad puns, vividly visual metaphors, satirical asides and inside jokes.” — The California Tech

“Zobel mines the show’s scripts for science references and then plunges readers into the nuts and bolts of everything from particle physics to potato electricity. The result is like a mash-up of a megafan’s guide to The Big Bang Theory and David Macaulay’s classic science and technology book, The Way Things Work.” — Science News

“This is an ideal book for fans of The Big Bang Theory who want to understand what the science-minded characters are talking about … Zobel's humor and references to the show make this an entertaining and informative read for anyone interested in science.” — Publishers Weekly
