| Dear
Subscriber,
During a sequence of meals, the author relates the principal
features of physics in easy-to-understand conversations with his wife
Beth. Beginning with the studies of motion by Galileo and Newton
through to the revolutionary theories of relativity and quantum
mechanics in the 20th century, all important aspects of electricity,
energy, magnetism, gravity and the structure of matter and atoms are
explained and illustrated.
We are pleased to introduce this title, now in its 2nd

discount from our online bookstore. Quote WJUL25A as

PHYSICS OVER EASY
Breakfasts with Beth and Physics
(2nd Edition)
by Leonid V Azároff (University of Connecticut, USA)
300pp (approx.)
978-981-4295-45-1(pbk): US$24 / £16 US$18

The second edition similarly recounts the more recent
application of these theories to nanoparticles, Bose-Einstein
condensates, quantum entanglement and quantum computers. By including
accurate measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background and supernovae
in near and distant galaxies, an understanding of how the universe was
formed in an Inflationary Big Bang is now possible. We've also gained a
much better picture of the life of stars and how they may turn into red
giants, white dwarfs, black holes, neutron stars or pulsars.
