How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog in the New York Times [Uncertain Principles]

However, I have much happier news: tomorrow’s Science Times (available on the Web already) will include a review of How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog!
I considered reading this book aloud to my dog, even though I doubted he would understand relativity, even as explained by the witty and clear-thinking Chad Orzel.

Woo-hoo! The Paper of Record!
