"Clegg's writing style is highly readable, and the contemporary cultural references impressed upon me . . . how accessible "Dice World"] is."--"Chemistry World"Perfect for anyone convinced of the utter randomness of existence, (including fans of Luke Rhinehart's cult novel "Dice Man") this titl[...]

The phenomenon that Einstein thought too spooky and strange to be true
"What is entanglement?" It's a connection between quantum particles, the building blocks of the universe. Once two particles are entangled, a change to one of them is reflected---"instantly---"in the other, be they in the sam[...]

"A pop science look at time travel technology, from Einstein to Ronald Mallett to present day experiments. Forget fiction: time travel is real.
"In "How to Build a Time Machine," Brian Clegg provides an understanding of what time is and how it can be manipulated. He explores the fascinating worl[...]

Anyone can type a few keywords into a search engine. But that's only the beginning. With Studying Using the Web you can find the right material, check its authenticity, transform it into your own original work and keep up-to-date on essential topics. The book is about how to find the right informati[...]

There is no physical law to prevent time travel - nothing in physics to say that it is not possible. So surely having a time machine is just a matter of ...time In Build Your Own Time Machine, Brian Clegg takes inspiration from his childhood heroes of Doctor Who and H. G. Wells to explain the nat[...]

Physicists will tell you that four forces control the universe. Of these, gravity may the most obvious, but it is also the most mysterious. Newton managed to predict the force of gravity but couldn't explain how it worked at a distance. Then Einstein picked up on the simple premise that gravity and [...]

Climate change is upon us. Make no mistake: disasters such as Hurricane Katrina are the tip of a rapidly melting iceberg. This title includes: where to live to minimize the impact of climate change; how to get drinkable water when the taps run dry; what to eat to stay alive in town and country; and,[...]

"Extra Sensory "is a pop-science look at the untapped abilities of human beings, from ESP to Telekenesis and other real life sciences that are currently being studied today, from physicist Brian Clegg. We'd all love to have 'psi' abilities like telepathy, telekinesis, and remote viewing. But is ther[...]

We human beings have trouble with infinity - yet infinity is a surprisingly human subject. This title takes us on a tour of that borderland between the extremely large and the ultimate that takes us from Archimedes, counting the grains of sand that would fill the universe, to the theories on the phy[...]

The perfect companion to any flight - a guide to the science on view from your window seat. There are few times when science is as immediate as when you're in a plane. Your life is in the hands of the scientists and engineers who enable tons of metal and plastic to hurtle through the sky at hundreds[...]

Fascinating facts and mind-boggling science of the human body.

The stone age, the iron age, the steam and electrical ages all saw the reach of humankind transformed by new technology. Now we are living in the quantum age, a revolution in everyday life led by our understanding of the very, very small. Today, technologies based on quantum physics account for 30 [...]
