30-second physics : the 50 most fundamental concepts in physics, each explained in half a minute / by Clegg, Brian.(CARDINAL)530574; Ball, Philip.; Clifford, Leon.(CARDINAL)430925; Close, F. E.(CARDINAL)504436; Evans, Rhodri.(CARDINAL)619179; May, Andrew.(CARDINAL)530029; Rawlings, Steve.(CARDINAL)354750;
Matter -- Light -- Quantum Theory -- Forces -- Motion -- Energy -- Thermodynamics.'30-Second Physics' tackles the big ideas behind life as we know it, from electromagnetic waves that enable us to connect in an instant from opposite ends of the earth to the gravity that keeps our feet firmly on the ground. In a world where physics is an everyday essential and new quantum developments make headline news, you need to know your atoms from your anti-matter, and learn just enough to speak with fluidity about fluid dynamics and be certain about the uncertainty principle

On gravity : a brief tour of a weighty subject / by Zee, A.,author.(CARDINAL)735538;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 153-167) and index."Of the four fundamental forces of nature, gravity might be the least understood and yet the one with which we are most intimate. From the months each of us spent suspended in the womb anticipating birth to the moments when we wait for sleep to transport us to other realities, we are always aware of gravity. In On Gravity, physicist A. Zee combines profound depth with incisive accessibility to take us on an original and compelling tour of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Inspired by Einstein's audacious suggestion that spacetime could ripple, Zee begins with the stunning discovery of gravity waves. He goes on to explain how gravity can be understood in comparison to other classical field theories, presents the idea of curved spacetime and the action principle, and explores cutting-edge topics, including black holes and Hawking radiation. Zee travels as far as the theory reaches, leaving us with tantalizing hints of the utterly unknown, from the intransigence of quantum gravity to the mysteries of dark matter and energy. Concise and precise, and infused with Zee's signature warmth and freshness of style, On Gravity opens a unique pathway to comprehending relativity and gaining deep insight into gravity, spacetime, and the workings of the universe"--Publisher's website.
