Hardback. Condizione: Good. Prepare to learn everything we still don't know about our strange and mysterious universe.Humanity's understanding of the physical world is full of gaps. Not tiny little gaps you can safely ignore --there are huge yawning voids in our basic notions of how the world works. PHD Comics creator Jorge Cham and particle physicist Daniel Whiteson have teamed up to explore everything we don't know about the universe: the enormous holes in our knowledge of the cosmos. Armed with their popular infographics, cartoons, and unusually entertaining and lucid explanations of science, they give us the best answers currently available for a lot of questions that are still perplexing scientists, including: * Why does the universe have a speed limit?* Why aren't we all made of antimatter?* What (or who) is attacking Earth with tiny, superfast particles?* What is dark matter, and why does it keep ignoring us? It turns out the universe is full of weird things that don't make any sense. But Cham and Whiteson make a compelling case that the questions we can't answer are as interesting as the ones we can. This fully illustrated introduction to the biggest mysteries in physics also helpfully demystifies many complicated things we do know about, from quarks and neutrinos to gravitational waves and exploding black holes. With equal doses of humor and delight, Cham and Whiteson invite us to see the universe as a possibly boundless expanse of uncharted territory that's still ours to explore. …

Hardback. Condizione: Good. "Delightful, funny, and yet rigorous and intelligent: only Jorge and Daniel can reach this exquisite balance." --Carlo Rovelli, author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Helgoland You've got questions: about space, time, gravity, and the odds of meeting your older self inside a wormhole. All the answers you need are right here. As a species, we may not agree on much, but one thing brings us all together: a need to know. We all wonder, and deep down we all have the same big questions. Why can't I travel back in time? Where did the universe come from? What's inside a black hole? Can I rearrange the particles in my cat and turn it into a dog? Researcher-turned-cartoonist Jorge Cham and physics professor Daniel Whiteson are experts at explaining science in ways we can all understand, in their books and on their popular podcast, Daniel and Jorge Explain the Universe. With their signature blend of humor and oh-now-I-get-it clarity, Jorge and Daniel offer short, accessible, and lighthearted answers to some of the most common, most outrageous, and most profound questions about the universe they've received. This witty, entertaining, and fully illustrated book is an essential troubleshooting guide for the perplexing aspects of reality, big and small, from the invisible particles that make up your body to the identical version of you currently reading this exact sentence in the corner of some other galaxy. If the universe came with an FAQ, this would be it.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. This is the second entry in the laugh-out-loud illustrated series that Diary of a Wimpy Kid author Jeff Kinney called "mind-expanding and hilarious!" From the bestselling writer and creator of PHD Comics, Jorge Cham, Oliver's Great Big Universe is a diary-style series following an 11-year-old who's taking on the whole universe--if he can survive middle school first. After writing his first book, eleven-year-old Oliver is kind of a celebrity around school--no big deal. But when he gets caught in a cafeteria catastrophe, he quickly goes from being the "funny science kid" to one of the "Epic Barf Kids," he result of too much explosive cherry pie in the lunchroom. Oliver is desperate to restore his reputation--and winning the science fair sounds like the perfect way for everyone to forget about the whole barf thing. There's just one obstacle standing in his way: Ana Lía Quintero, who wins the science fair every year. Luckily, Oliver has the help of his geoscientist aunt, even though she's a little, um, quirky (scratch that: really quirky). If Oliver has any chance of defeating his archnemesis, he'll have to learn all about volcanic burping and bacteria farts, how Earth's layers are basically like boba tea, and how school cliques and the solar system have a lot in common. Oliver's Great Big Universe series: Oliver's Great Big Universe (#1) Oliver's Great Big Universe: Volcanoes Are Hot! (#2).…
