An amazing guide to the wonders of physics, handily broken down into accessible bite-sized chunks. Cool Physics is a playful, enjoyable guide to the world of physics, from Archimedes saying 'Eureka!' (probably not in the bath) to the Higgs Boson. Aimed at older children and curious adults, it covers everything you need to know about some of the most complex scientific ideas the world has ever seen, made accessible and fun - Newton's Theory of Relativity, quantum physics, nuclear fission and fusion, quarks, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and that old favourite E=mc2 are all explained here, clearly and entertainingly. There are also 10 practical experiments to give you even more insight into the theories, including making a pinhole camera, a whirlpool in a bottle and electric circuits with Play-Doh.

'In The Beginning Was The Word, Then A Drawing, Then More Words, Another Drawing, And So On, And So On' is a sequential chain that alternates from poet to illustrator, a creative game of ping pong that takes each artist on a path they would not have discovered on their own. Responding to each others original and sometimes witty thoughts, they explore the darkness and the light, ask 'why are we doing this?' and 'where is all this leading?' as they take us on a journey from the beginning of time and through unexplored space to find an unknown destination in an uncertain and peculiar world.
