"It only takes a small spark to ignite a child's mind! Written by an expert, Electromagnetism for Babies is a colorfully simple introduction to magnets and positive and negative charges. Babies (and grownups!) will discover what makes opposites attract as they learn about electromagnetism. With a tongue-in-cheek approach that adults will love, this installment of the Baby University board book series is the perfect way to introduce basic concepts to even the youngest scientists. After all, it's

A beloved introductory physics textbook, now including exercises and an answer key, accessibly explains electromagnetism, optics, and quantum mechanics R. Shankar is a well-known physicist and contagiously enthusiastic educator, whose popular online introductory-physics video lectures have been viewed over a million times. In this second book based on his online courses, Shankar explains electromagnetism, optics, and quantum mechanics, developing the basics and reinforcing the fundamentals. With

"Why do objects fall toward the ground? What makes electric lights go on when we flip a switch? How do magnets work? The answers to these questions and many more become clear when you understand how electromagnetic force and gravitational force operate. This title looks at these forces and presents key concepts in an accessible way. Important theories and applications are presented in clear, age-appropriate language. Full-color photographs and primary sources provide readers with additional info

The legendary introduction to physics from the subject's greatest teacher. "The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful, spawning a book that has remained a definitive introduction to physics for decades. Ranging from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman's lectures

Thomas Edison was called a wizard, which was a good nickname for one of history's most famous inventors and the holder of more than 1,000 patents. Often improving upon the ideas of others, Edison and his assistants perfected the incandescent lightbulb. They also created the first successful electrical power system, the alkaline battery, and the phonograph, which played recorded sound. Edison's modern industrial research laboratory was one of the first.

"Bullied nerd Virgil Hawkins wasn't the kind of kid you'd normally find on the streets at a protest--but like everyone else in the city of Dakota, he was fed up. Unfortunately, the first time he stood up to raise his voice, the world turned upside down. The experimental tear gas released that day left some of his classmates maimed or dead...but it left Virgil, and others, with stunning new abilities. Virgil has power inside him now--real power, the ability to channel and manipulate electromagnet
