Explore the laws and theories of physics in this accessible introduction to the forces that shape our universe, our planet, and our everyday lives.Using a bold, graphics-led approach, The Physics Book sets out more than 80 of the key concepts and discoveries that have defined the subject and influenced our technology since the beginning of time. With the focus firmly on unpacking the thought behind each theory--as well as exploring when and how each idea and breakthrough came about--five themed chapters examine the history and developments in specific areas such as Light, Sound, and Electricity.Eureka moments abound: from Archimedes' bathtub discoveries about displacement and density, and Galileo's experiments with spheres falling from the Tower of Pisa, to Isaac Newton's apple and his conclusions about gravity and the laws of motion. You'll also learn about Albert Einstein's revelations about relativity; how the accidental discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation confirmed the Big Bang theory; the search for the Higgs boson particle; and why most of the universe is missing. If you've ever wondered exactly how physicists formulated--and proved--their abstract concepts, The Physics Book is the book for you.

‘… Remember, you only jump into your whirlwind when they announce that it is three p.m., not before. You’ll have—’ ‘Wait, wait, wait! Excuse me, did you say I’ll jump into my whirlwind?’James is on an adventure – not that he planned it. It begins when he rides his brand new bicycle through the wood nearby then has an accident and can’t get back home to his family.As James tries again and again to find his way home, he must travel in unexpected ways and encounter some bizarre people in strange places he didn’t know existed.Rotating houses, falling onto a star, a girl with no mouth and landing in jail are only a few of the things that James must face on this amazing journey.

Do Aliens Exist?And if they do - what would they look like? Where would they live? Would they be conscious beings? And what would happen if they found us?These are the biggest questions we've ever asked - and here, Professor Jim Al-Khalili, theoretical physicist and host of BBC Radio Four's The Life Scientific, blasts off in search of answers. Coming with him are Martin Rees, Ian Stewart, Louisa Preston, Monica Grady, Sara Seager, Paul Davies and a crack team of scientists and experts who've made it their life's work to discover the truth.So get ready to visit the ice boulders and hydrocarbon lakes of Saturn's moon Titan, meet the tiny eight-legged critters that could survive in space, and learn about the neuroscience behind belief in alien abductions. Along the way, you'll enter the mind of an octopus, work out the probability of us finding an alien civilisation and discover whether quantum computing might hold the secret to life itself.Lively, curious and filled with scientific insights fresh from the cutting edge of the Galaxy, Aliens is the perfect book for anyone who has ever looked up into the starry sky and wondered: are we alone?

A path-breaking text for freshman orientation and study skills classes "This is a path-breaking book. Faculties have been learning about how the mind functions, and this book spreads the message to understudies, who need it the same amount of. More sophisticated and empirically grounded than any study skills manual, this book addresses all the major research discoveries on how the human brain learns. And it does as such utilizing language and examples that understudies can easily understand and immediately apply to enhance their attention, profundity of handling, maintenance, retrieval, and far-transfer abilities. Additionally, each chapter closes with superb summaries and scholarly references. It has the right to be required reading for all understudies—really, anyone intrigued by learning."?Linda B. Nilson, Director, Office of Teaching Effectiveness and Innovation, Clemson University Ongoing advances in brain science demonstrate that most understudies' learning strategies are exceptionally wasteful, incapable or out and out wrong. While all learning requires effort, better learning does not require more effort, yet rather viably aligning how the brain naturally learns with the demands of your investigations. This book demonstrates to you what is engaged with learning new material, how the human brain forms new information, and what it takes for that information to stay with you even after the test. Taking a small amount of time to read and act upon the material in this book will demonstrate to be probably the best choice you can make as a learner. What you find will change the way you learn in school and will be useful in your personal and professional life. You face a daily reality such that you should be a long lasting learner, constantly updating your skills and changing occupations to contend in the global marketplace. Most understudies today will have as many as 10-14 distinct employments by age 38. Learning how to learn in harmony with your brain is crucial to your long haul achievement. This concise book explains straightforward strategies for changing how you prepare to learn, engage with your course material, and set about improving recall of recently learned material at whatever point you need it. This isn't another book about study skills and time management strategies, yet instead an easy-to-read depiction of the research about how the human brain learns such that you can incorporate immediately.
