Michael Raymer recently developed a new university course and textbook for nonscience students called The Physics Behind the Internet that covers the physical basis for information technology, at a level suitable for students with little or no physics background. The course teaches, at a conceptual level, the basics of information, communication, atomic physics, semiconductor device physics, and optical physics and technology. In support of this course, he authored a textbook, The Silicon Web: The Physics Behind the Internet. The book is being published by Taylor and Francis in Summer of 2009.
