The Cartoon Guide to Physics

by Larry Gonick, Art Huffman

Overview

Anyone who thinks a negative charge is something that shows up on your credit card bill—or imagines that Ohm’s Law dictates how long to meditate—or believes that Newtonian mechanics will fix your car—needs The Cartoon Guide to Physics. This handy text explains it all: velocity, acceleration, explosions, electricity and magnetism, circuits, and it even gives students a taste of relativity theory, and much more in simple, clear, and, yes, funny, illustrations. Physics will never be the same!
