Lewis Carroll Epstein is the author of layman's books on physics that use an idiosyncratic mix of cartoons and single-page brain teasers to pull the reader into advanced concepts in classical mechanics, quantum theory, and Relativity.[citation needed]

His books have been republished for almost 30 years[1]. He once held a job explaining science to juries in patent disputes, which informed his teaching style[citation needed].
