Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Knowledge is power… A landmark new series from a prize-winning scientist and communicator.

In this major trilogy, Sean Carroll opens up the world of physics and shows that you don’t necessarily need a science degree to gain a deeper insight into the workings of the universe.

Starting with the ideas that revolutionised our view of nature, Space, Time and Motion poses deep questions about the cosmos, guiding us through classical physics from Euclid and Galileo to Newton and Einstein. Carroll investigates how a twin could be seven years older than her brother, and demonstrates why it’s easier than you might think for a drifting astronaut to get back to the safety of the space station.

These are the laws of physics as you’ve never understood them before.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Reviewers appreciate the book’s combination of technical accuracy, clarity, and engaging, reader-friendly tone. It bridges the gap between popular science and rigorous mathematical physics, welcoming even those with minimal algebra knowledge to understand profound scientific ideas. The book is complemented for enlightening non-specialists without diluting the scientific content.

First time using book hero last week and though I was sceptical , the two business books I needed were only available on book hero so I gave it a try. Before I got home the following day the books were already at my home !! That's super efficient ! I'm proud to be supporting a local business that outperforms the big players ! Well done bookhero !
