Gravity

How did we come to understand the force that binds the universe together? In Gravity, Brian Clegg offers a succinct history of gravity from the perspectives of great thinkers including Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Einstein and today’s leading scientists. He explores theories of general relativity, quantum mechanics and our attempts to link the two, as well as time travel, black holes, string theory and why gravity only works at the speed of light.

Gravity is anything but simple, but Brian Clegg has written the most accessible book yet on the subject – the perfect introduction to a complicated theory.

Amazing Story Quantum Mechanics

In the pulp magazines and comics of the 1950s, it was predicted that the future would be one of gleaming utopias, with flying cars, jetpacks, and robotic personal assistants. Obviously, things didn’t turn out that way. But the world we do have is actually more fantastic than the most outlandish predictions of science fiction from the mid-20th century. The internet, mobile phones and MRI machines have changed the world in unimaginable ways.

In The Amazing Story of Quantum Mechanics, James Kakalios explains the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and nuclear energy through speculative science fiction, space adventures, graphic novels and films that have led to technological innovations – breakthroughs that will make possible a future beyond our wildest imaginings.
