Description
Uncover the mysteries of the universe in this handy introduction to the key principles of physics, from the tiny parts that make up an atom to awe-inspiring black holes.
Basher Science: Extreme Physics is a compelling guide to a community of characters who come together to make up our universe and everything it contains, including you! Learn why Schrödinger's cat is so important, and the difference between quarks and neutrinos.
Finally, take in mind-bending concepts that are stranger than science fiction, including theories about parallel worlds, teleportation and powerful quantum computers.
Basher's unique illustrations combine with chatty, first-person text by expert author Dan Green to hook even the most reluctant readers and help them to understand the science behind the headlines.
Perfect for home or school, Basher's highly original books make difficult concepts tangible, understandable and even lovable. With sales of over 3 million copies around the world, they are a brilliant way to communicate science, history and geography.
