“Congratulations again on your beautifully produced and useful book. I have now had a chance to read the chapters that interest me most and am impressed with the great range of experiments you have built up at Bar-Ilan.”

Professor Jeffrey S Dunham
Middlebury College, Vermont





“Kraftmakher’s book is a truly impressive work, with something for everyone … it is aimed at anyone who wants to incorporate more and better exercises into the development or the presentation of laboratory courses or lecture demonstrations. And it is especially helpful to those who already use PASCO equipment.”
