Understanding Physics (Motion, Sound, and Heat / Light, Magnetism, and Electricity / The Electron, Proton, and Neutron)

While many of us understand complex theories of criticism or finance, we cannot explain why the lights go on when we flick a switch or how a radio works. In this reader-friendly, unabridged edition of... three of his best-selling books, renowned science writer Isaac Asimov demystifies physics, teaching the fundamentals in a manner easily understood by lay people. Including the complete text of Motion, Sound and Heat, Light, Magnetism and Electricity, and The Electron, Proton and Neutron, this volume will guide you through the evolution of physics from its early Greek beginnings up to the modern theories of the creation of time, space and matter. Each volume relates the tale of the human quest through the ages for answers to the fundamental questions of how the universe works. Told in its historical context, this quest for knowledge is a story of high drama and uncommon valor, when men put their very lives on the line for the sake of scientific truth. 768pp. Originally published in 3 volumes.

Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Your Brain Creates Material Reality

We're Told That 'thoughts Become Things', And, Although This Is True For Some Things, It Is Manifestly Untrue For Others: Some Of Us Will Never Be Professional Astronauts, For Example, No Matter How E...arnestly We Think About It. Between The Possible And The Impossible There Is A Wide Middle Ground. New Research And New Discoveries In Epigenetics, Neuroscience, Electromagnetism, Psychology, Public Health And Quantum Physics Are Demonstrating That Thoughts Can Indeed Be Profoundly Creative. In Mind To Matter, Award-winning Author Dawson Church Examines The Scientific Facts Behind The Popular Concept Of 'manifesting' And Reviews Its Possibilities And Its Limits. As We Discover How The Universe Operates Synchronistically, We Come To Understand That While We Have Individual Local Minds, We Also Participate In A Universal Nonlocal Mind. Mind To Matter Shows Us That As We Take Charge Of Our Individual Power To Create, We Have The Potential, As A Species, To Catalyze A Transformation Of Our Whole World.
