| Description: | Select Guide Rating If you think that a negative charge is something that shows up on your credit card bill, then this book should be of interest. It explains complex ideas with clear illustrations dealing with the principles of mechanics as well as the concepts of electricity and magnetism. If you think a negative charge is something that shows up on your credit card bill -- if you imagine that Ohm''s Law dictates how long to meditate -- if you believe that Newtonian mechanics will fix your car -- you need The Cartoon Guide to Physics to set you straight. You don''t have to be a scientist to grasp these and many other complex ideas, because The Cartoon Guide to Physics explains them all: velocity, acceleration, explosions, electricity and magnetism, circuits -- even a taste of relativity theory -- and much more, in simple, clear, and, yes, funny illustrations. Physics will never be the same! |
