Explore the laws and theories of physics in this accessible introduction to the forces that shape our Universe, our planet, and our everyday lives. Using a bold, graphic-led approach The Physics Book sets out more than 80 key concepts and discoveries that have defined the subject and influenced our technology since the beginning of time. With the focus firmly on unpicking the thought behind each theory - as well as exploring when and how each idea and breakthrough came about - seven themed chapters examine the history and developments in areas such as Energy and Matter, and Electricity and Magnetism, as well as quantum, nuclear, and particle physics. Eureka moments abound- from Pythagoras's observations of the pleasing harmonies created by vibrating strings, and Galileo's experiments with spheres, to Isaac Newton's apple and his conclusions about gravity and the laws of motion. You'll also learn about Albert Einstein's revelations about relativity; how the accidental discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation confirmed the Big Bang theory; the search for the Higgs boson particle; and why most of our Universe is missing. If you've ever wondered exactly how physicists formulated - and proved - their abstract concepts, The Physics Book is the book for you.

Andrews pries loose all the bitterness of what it means to come of age as a gay man in the south and laces sweetness in the wounds whenever possible. These poems are an elegy to what is given up and an ode to what is discovered. In crisp lines and haunting images, Andrews' voice rings true. - Sandy Longhorn

FOR ALL THOSE LEFT BEHIND is a book about fishing. It is also a book about grief, loss - and, ultimately, identity. It's about the compulsion to escape the hectic pace of modern life and the search for peace on the margins. When his father died in 1992, John Andrews thought there was nothing left unsaid between them, but as the years passed he came to realise that perhaps something had been left undone, unfinished. He began a subconscious search for these abandoned threads by starting to fish again, a pastime he had pursued with his father until the age of 15. What began as a good excuse to get away from the London rat race gradually developed into a personal journey that was to take him back to the very heart of the relationship between himself and his father. In 1999, Andrews was made redundant from Creation Records, home of Primal Scream, Oasis, Teenage Fanclub and others. Told he could walk into any job in the music industry, he decided instead to start writing. In haunting prose, Andrews describes his search to come to terms with his loss, taking the reader on his personal odyssey from Skye to Ireland and from Cuba to the green fields of Albion. FOR ALL THOSE LEFT BEHIND is a deeply moving memoir and a paean to the redemptive powers of the transquillity and joys of fishing.
