<span class="a-text-bold">“A thrilling, fast-paced excursion through the history of physical discovery . . . from silly putty to string theory” (Dr. Paul Halpern, author of </span><span class="a-text-bold a-text-italic">Collider</span><span class="a-text-bold">).</span>

Following his previous volumes, <span class="a-text-italic">The Science Book</span> and <span class="a-text-italic">The Math Book</span>, acclaimed science writer Clifford Pickover returns with a richly illustrated chronology of physics, containing 250 short, entertaining, and thought-provoking entries. In addition to exploring such engaging topics as dark energy, parallel universes, the Doppler effect, the God particle, and Maxwells demon, <span class="a-text-italic">The Physics Book</span> extends back billions of years to the hypothetical Big Bang and forward trillions of years to a time of “quantum resurrection.” Like the previous titles in this series, <span class="a-text-italic">The Physics Book</span> offers a lively and accessible account of major concepts without getting bogged down in complex details.
