• Book by Louis A. Bloomfield.

The Cartoon Guide to Physics

The Cartoon Guide to Physics

If you think a negative charge is something that shows up on your credit card bill -- if you imagine that Ohm's Law dictates how long to meditate -- if you believe that Newtonian mechanics will fix your car -- you need The Cartoon Guide to Physics to set you straight.

You don't have to be a scientist to grasp these and many other complex ideas, because The Cartoon Guide to Physics explains them all: velocity, acceleration, explosions, electricity and magnetism, circuits -- even a taste of relativity theory -- and much more, in simple, clear, and, yes, funny illustrations. Physics will never be the same!

• Review:: 'Finally! I was a lousy science major in high school. Looking back, I have no idea why I chose the subject I did anyway. The point is, I never understood half the stuff we were going through. Now, 10 years later, I've forgotten the few things I did understand. Thanks to the magic of Larry Gonick I get now get it! At first glance it still looks hard. They really dive right in with formulas and stuff, but after a little while it feels natural. I just wish my teacher back then had put this book in my hands. Or maybe I just gave Gonick the chance I never gave my teacher. Either way, this was an enjoyable read!
• Review:: 'Great Introduction Or Refresher "The Cartoon Guide to Physics", first published in 1990, is one of a series of Cartoon Guides which Larry Gonick has co-authored with scientists in the field of choice; in this case it is with Art Huffman who is in the physics department at UCLA. Outside of Larry Gonick's excellent "Cartoon History of the Universe" series, this is the best of his books that I have read. There are two sections in the book: `Mechanics', and `Electricity and Magnetism'. The first section deals with motion, forces, Newton's Laws, Energy, and associated topics. The second section deals with electricity and electrical fields, and magnets and magnetic fields. It also touches on relativity and quantum electrodynamics. They do not cover topics such as String Theory or Chaos Theory, which have become increasingly more publicized since this book was published. This book works well as an introduction to the topic, or as a refresher. There is not enough substance for this to serve as a text book, nor do they provide a bibliography to assist the reader in finding more in depth books on any of the topics. However, Gonick does a wonderful job of blending the history of the field with the topics that are covered, and he does so in a way which does not overwhelm the reader.
• Review:: 'Didactic and entertaining!! This is essentially a comic book, yet it is able to communicate the fundamental laws of physics taught in an introductory high school physics course and some taught in college such as relativity. Overall, the book is enjoyable and humorous. However, the constraints of actually teaching the material through the drawings do impose on the humor sometimes. The book is accurate, as far as I can tell, and allows one to gain some understanding on how things work, from how the tides come about, to the motion of a gyroscope, to the Theory of Relativity. One disclaimer that I must add, that should be obvious, is that unless you are sufficient in mathematics (genius) you will not know all the consequences that come out from these laws other than the ones provided to you. I would have to recommend this for people over 12 years old, those who want to learn a little physics in a fun and entertaining way.
• Review:: 'good Organization was just like a physics text. Sections were good and funny, but it did not take the subject much further than a standard high school text.
• Review:: 'Straightening the Riddles, for the Common Man What keeps our world and its billions of parts, processes and phenomenol proclivities working, working, working---from quark and electron upwards---is explained in this book of brilliant, cartooned illustrations of one of mankind's most mind-boggling fields of inquiry and science: Physics. Arranged in twenty-four, neatly labeled chapters, the book's two sections, (Part One) Mechanics, and (Part Two) Electricity and Magnetism, are models of clarity and teachable wonderment. If, like me, your mental overnight bag has always carried in it more of the liberal arts and humanities, with little room left for packing in a pair-of-sock's worth of understanding for the sciences, then this book and others in the Collins Reference series are for you. Larry Gonick's plain-language, careful explanations are wrapped around clear, illuminating graphics such as our physics instructors never had skill or thought of in high school and college. You remember?---Those required courses for the science-challenged liberal arts student? While Gonick straightens out the riddles of physics, he has the wit also to sneak in plenty of chuckles. For the reader, the result is new and welcomed insight into many of the mysteries we observe in everyday life, from why rocks fly through windows like they do to why the waitress carries her tray in that special, gracefully upright way at our favorite cafe. I recommend this book to anyone who just can't take being ignorant about it anymore! --Michael [McClintock]Create?

Cracking the SAT Physics Subject Test, 2005-2006

Cracking the SAT Physics Subject Test, 2005-2006

• Review:: 'An excellent book to learn physics, not for the SAT II This book is an excellent source to learn about almost every aspect of physics. It touches base on things that are not taught in the high school curriculum. I took a year of regents physics and am taking IB physics this year and the book helped a lot. However, the practice problems and in depth information in this book is NOT ON THE PHYSICS SAT II. I took the test a few months ago and the test is nothing compared to the book. Yes it will overprepare you for the test, but if you don't have time to read and study all of those pages, theres no reason to. I'm sure there are other books out that will teach you all you need to know. Again, excellent book, but for the person who just wants to ace the test and nothing more, its a waste of time and energy trying to understand it all. It is not an easy read for an average student. I got a 780 on the test and most of the questions are all on concepts, maybe about 8 percent of the test had actual math problems where you had to work stuff out, and you really don't need to know that many formulas. All in all its a great book to impress your physics teacher and grasp many concepts but not the best for the test.
• Review:: 'While not flawless, an excellent book to use I started reviewing with this book for the SAT Physics Subject Test only three days before I had to take it. While I had taken one year of regular physics in school, we never had to memorize the equations for our tests. This book did an excellent job of condensing all the information needed, and its explanations were clear and concise. The review problems were challenging but ensured a thorough understanding of the concepts, and the provided solutions to the practice tests were easy to understand. I rate this book a four instead of a five only because of its practice tests. There are only two of them, and I found them to be harder than the actual test (althougth that's better than being easier). To give a sense of the score distortion, I made a 740 on the first practice test, and I made a 790 on the real thing. So although this book's tests aren't great indicators of how well you will perform on the real SAT Physics Subject Test, its review of the material is very good, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
• Review:: 'Very good review This book presents an excellent review, the only issue is that it shoudl have had more practice tests.
