Summary
If you think a negative charge is something that shows up on your credit card bill -- if you imagine that Ohm's
Law dictates how long to meditate -- if you believe that Newtonian mechanics will fix your car -- you need The
Cartoon Guide to Physics to set you straight.
You don't have to be a scientist to grasp these and many other complex ideas, because The Cartoon Guide to Physics
explains them all: velocity, acceleration, explosions, electricity and magnetism, circuits -- even a taste of relativity
theory -- and much more, in simple, clear, and, yes, funny illustrations. Physics will never be the same!
