Okay, so this is a weird little minipost but I was looking for books that I could use to improve my pretty rudimentary stats skills at the library when I came across, of all things, "Statistical Physics for Babies" as a board book.
I mean obviously I wasn't expecting to learn something from this but I was deathly curious what it was and, well, I'm now just very confused.
It's not actually for small children, because it jumps too fast into combinatoric ideas that wouldn't make sense for a kid under the age of like six or seven, but it also doesn't take enough time to actually explain things in a way that adults would find valuable in an ironicly funny way, but also it'd be insulting to hand a board book to a kid older than four.
So, like, who was this for?
