穆勒（Richard A. Muller）美國伯剋利加州大學物理學教授，曾榮獲麥剋阿瑟奬，俗稱“天纔奬”。他是政府首席顧問，作為有影響的專傢頻繁齣現在美國公眾電視網（(PBS)和英國廣播公司(BBC)的專題紀實節目中。

“通嚮白宮的物理路。”—— 國傢評論在綫

穆勒給人的印象是一個可親而又多纔多藝的教授……感謝穆勒化解瞭我心裏的阻隔。我希望麥凱恩和奧巴馬也能分享他的智慧。

"Physics for Future Presidents" gives the reader the science behind the headlines - the tools of terrorists, the dangers of nuclear power and the reality of global warming. We live in complicated, dangerous times. They are also hypertechnical times. As citizens of the world today, we need to know - truly understand, not just rely on television's experts - if Iran's nascent nuclear capability is a genuine threat to the West, if biochemical weapons are likely to be developed by terrorists, if there are viable alternatives to fossil fuels, if nuclear power should be encouraged and if global warming is actually happening. This book is written in non-technical language on the science behind the concerns that the West faces in the immediate future. Even active readers of serious journalism will be surprised by the lessons that the book contains. It is essential information for all leaders - and citizens - of the twenty-first century.
