  Stephan Martin tells us that ninety-six percent of the universe is dark matter we can't see and don't understand. He sat down with leading physicists, spiritual leaders, and cultural creatives to get their insights on what we do know-and what we believe. In this riveting conversation he shares insights from every perspective-the questions that arise from the creativity of the universe itself.

  ★★ It might not be rocket science, but quantum physics is one field of science that has challenged scientists for decades. ★★ 
  Infamously, it is one of the most difficult branches of science to understand. One reason for this is that you must be ready to envision the unthinkable. Quantum physics defies common sense and intuition, and has often been described as “weird”, or “strange”, even by famous scientists like Einstein. 
  To spare you the trauma, this book will not delve into mind-boggling math or equations. This book serves as a smooth introduction into quantum physics - probably the easiest you will come across. For years, the crazy math has made many people assume quantum physics to be the preserve of a select few. That shouldn’t be the case. Quantum physics is an exciting journey if you are a thrill seeker. 
  Comprehensible? Yes, it is. You don’t have to go about it the difficult way either. In this book, we will cover the basic concepts and theories that are the foundation upon which quantum physics thrives today. With this knowledge, you can then graduate deeper into the intrigues of quantum physics. 
  The beauty of learning quantum physics is that you probably have as much certainty of the concepts as the top scientists in the world today. After all, simple things like the workings of measurements are still a conundrum to quantum physicists.

  How do cats land on their feet? A “lively, entertaining” look at how the question stumped brilliant minds for centuries—and what was learned along the way (Ars Technica).  
   
  The question of how falling cats land on their feet has long intrigued humans. In this playful and eye-opening history, physicist and cat parent Gregory Gbur explores how attempts to understand the cat-righting reflex have provided crucial insights into puzzles in mathematics, geophysics, neuroscience, and human space exploration. 
   
  The result is an engaging tumble through physics, physiology, photography, and robotics to uncover, through scientific debate, the secret of the acrobatic performance known as cat-turning, the cat flip, and the cat twist. You’ll learn the solution—but also discover that the finer details still inspire heated arguments. As with other cat behavior, the more we investigate, the more surprises we discover.

  The science is in: Global warming is for real. But what does it all really mean, and what can or should we do about it? This clear, fluid narrative by a leading scientist and educator takes a scrupulously balanced approach in explaining for the reader the history of global climate monitoring and change, and the who’s, how’s, what’s, when’s, where’s and why’s of the interaction between human activity and recent trends in the Earth’s climate.Global Warming For Beginners is organized into five compelling sections:Global Warming, An IntroductionThe CauseThe ConsequencesThe SolutionsWhat Steps Can I Take?Working from the premise that no one can do everything but everyone can do something, Goodwin challenges readers with experiments they can conduct to gain a better understanding of the science underlying the problems facing our planet, and concludes with a list of fifty easy actions people can choose from to start doing their part in the effort to slow or stop global warming.As with all For Beginners titles, this volume is illustrated throughout with entertaining drawings that help readers understand and retain the information in Goodwin’s lively and comprehensive text.
