Books with author Mort Walker

Like having a private coach at their elbows, this introduction to algebra-based physics involves readers actively in a guided learn-by-doing process—sensing when they need a very patient exposition and when they need only minimal reinforcement, when they need to focus on concepts and when they need an opportunity to practice their quantitative skills. At the heart of the volume are worked examples in a unique, two-column format that focuses on the basic strategies and step-by-step thought processes involved in problem solving—with an emphasis on the relationship between the physical concepts and their mathematical expression. Color-coded drawings help readers visualize physics problems, and companion photographs show the same principle at work in different physical contexts, or juxtapose situations in which contrasting principles are at work. Real-world physics applications abound. Covers the full spectrum of topics in Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Electromagnetism, Light and Optics, and Modern Physics. For anyone needing an introduction to, or refresher of, algebra-based physics.

The stunning new novel for older children and young adults by leading science writer MJ Walker. The anteater, elephant, budgie and pin monkey know of only one way to save their ruined circus. They must seek out Lord Morgan, and his huge new cannon, which can only be operated by the cleverest animals in all the world. The old leopard meanwhile, fancies taking a piece of Lord Morgan's thighs. So begins an endearing and revealing story about the nature of humans and animals; what we think and feel, and the differences, if any, between us.
