...students majoring in other fields. Believing that most survey courses were "not worth the powder to blow them to hell," Dr. Lemon authored a new kind of textbook, From Galileo to Cosmic Rays. Written with insight and humor but with scientific integrity, it was illustrated with sly drawings by Artist Chichi Lasley, one of which showed a student fleeing in horror from a blackboard covered with difficult equations...
