Grasp the awe-inspiring concepts of relativity and quantum physics with Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution: Modern Physics for Non-Scientists, 2nd Edition. While both landmark theories have reputations for complexity, Professor Richard Wolfson—a specialist in interpreting science for nonspecialists—shows that anyone can understand them. Delve into a wealth of fascinating incidents and ideas behind these two poles of modern physics, including curved spacetime, black holes, and the particle zoo. Not only do you appreciate the profound nature of relativity and quantum physics, but you also see them as the gateway to understanding today's latest science stories.

From there, get an equally accessible look at the quantum world of quarks, neutrinos, and more. In Particle Physics for Non-Physicists: A Tour of the Microcosmos, award-winning Professor Steven Pollock translates the language of particle physics, the remarkable science that has helped unlock the secrets of the universe's basic forces. You become familiar with the fundamental particles that make up matter, the ways in which these particles interact, and the field's great discoveries and pioneers. Enriching for everyone, this course teaches you why the ideas behind particle physics are so compelling—and so important.
