"Welcome to the Universe is a personal guided tour of the cosmos by three of today's leading astrophysicists. Inspired by the enormously popular introductory astronomy course that Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott taught together at Princeton, this book covers it all--from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes, wormholes, and time travel. Describing the latest discoveries in astrophysics, the informative and entertaining...

"The Physics of Life illuminates the meaning of evolution in its broadest scientific sense and empowers the reader with a new view of the intertwined movement of all life -- evolution is more than biological. The same physical effect is present in all patterns and flows -- from population growth, to air traffic, to government expansion, to the urge for better ideas. Evolution is everywhere, and the same elegant principles of physics apply to all things....

Introduces the laws of physics through twenty-five interactive experiments, including instant ice, straw symphony, and lemon liftoff.

With practice tests and answers in each chapter, "Barron's E-Z Physics" is an ideal self-help manual for students who want a clear, concise review of such topics as motion, energy, electricity, properties of light, and nuclear physics.

Offers a simplified explanation of quarks, protons, neutrons, atoms, and molecules.

Discusses recent discoveries in physics and cosmology to explore a range of multiverse proposals, and examines how the knowledge that some aspects of reality may lie beyond human comprehension might affect scientific progress.

"A physicist explains daily phenomena from the mundane to the magisterial. Take a look up at the stars on a clear night and you get a sense that the universe is vast and untouchable, full of mysteries beyond comprehension. But did you know that the key to unveiling the secrets of the cosmos is as close as the nearest toaster? In Storm in a Teacup, Helen Czerski provides the tools to alter the way we see everything around us by linking ordinary objects...

A long-trusted resource, "Physics Made Simple has been completely rewritten and updated for a new generation of readers. This introductory text guides students through the confounding complexities of basic--and not-so-basic--physics. Filled with anecdotes, humorous illustrations, and fun-to-do practice problems, this enlightening guide covers it all, including the classic concepts of force, motion, and energy, theories of relativity and atomic structure,...

Mixes science and art to bring the world of physics to life, with a gaggle of wacky characters to explain the building blocks of our universe.

Einstein arrived at his 1905 discovery that the realms of matter and energy are linked. Reveals the roots of this breakthrough in the human stories of scientists Michael Farady, Antoine Lavoisier, and Lise Meitner, whose innovative thinking helped lead to E=mcp2s, and ultimately unleashed the power of the atom.
