Physics AS & A Level

Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!

By Richard P. Feynman

Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experi-ence trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek.

“Buzzes with energy, anecdote and life.

It almost makes you want to become a physicist.”

The Atom

Edited by Erik Gregersen

The Britannica Guide to the Atom Common to all matter and its smallest and most fundamental unit, the atom determines the properties of a substance and how it responds to other materials and stimuli. Dividing the atom further reveals several smaller particles whose activity forms the heart of nuclear physics. Readers will discover the structure of the atom as well as the ways in which its electrons, protons, and neutrons facilitate both radioactivity and nuclear reactions, both of which have been crucial to technological advancements since the 20th century.

Made to Measure: New Materials for the 21st Century

By Philip Ball

An introduction to material science that discuss how scientists are researching new materials, how those new materials will be used in the medical field, how new materials are created. And other related topics.

“Philip Ball offers a panorama of 1,001 new materials for the next century… His survey would make a good textbook for an introductory course in materials science.

For the rest of us, the sheer range of examples is impressive.”

- Jon Turney, Financial Times

“Let me state up front that Made to Measure ... is an outstanding book. Written for the general reader, it will also greatly appeal to specialists. If you are a solid-state

physicist, chemist, materials scientist, engineer, science policy maker, or keen amateur scientist, then sell your shirt to buy it.”

Sustainable Materials with Both Eyes Open

By Julian M. Allwood

Explores the options for more sustainable materials to be used in transport, construction, and energy, and considers using less metal, diverting manufacturing scrap, future energy use and emissions, longer life products, other materials like cement and plastic, and more.

“An excellent book . . . the message is clear and convincing: We can’t go on using materials the way we have been for the past 150 years, but

fortunately, we don’t have to. We can meet the world’s growing need for the stuff of modern life, avoid the worst effects of climate change, and preserve the environment

for future generations.”
