This textbook perfectly captures the moment when physics education crosses into absurdity. Behold the "Fleming's right-hand rule" illustrated with what appears to be a dislocated hand gesture that no human can naturally make. Thirty years of teaching and I've never seen a student successfully contort their fingers this way without needing medical attention afterward. The magnetic field, current, and motion vectors are all there, but the hand model looks like it's simultaneously throwing gang signs and having a stroke. No wonder students hate electromagnetism - they think they need to break their fingers to understand it.
