1. PHYSICS Department of Physics. American University of Sharjah. aus.edu GLACIER PEAK HIGH SCHOOL

2. E=MC2: a biography of the worlds most famous equation by David Bodanis This biography of Einstein's famous equation begins by devoting chapters to each of the equation's letters and symbols, introducing the science and scientists involved in their study, and ends by presenting how Einstein's work has influenced our everyday modern life. Force and Energy Book cover

3. Real Quanta: simplifying quantum physics for Einstein and Bohr by Martinjn Van Calmthout Explores how quantum mechanics has moved from the science labs into the real world. Highlights the history of the science and the ever-increasing role it plays in daily life. Quantum Theory Book cover

4. The God Effect: quantum entanglement, science s strangest phenomenon by Brian Clegg Explains the concept of "entanglement" in the study of quantum physics. Describes the mysterious, permanent connection of quantum particles which come in contact with one another, a connection that maintains even if the particles are subsequently separated by great distances. Speculates on uses for the phenomenon, including communication, encryption, or teleportation. Book cover Quantum Theory

5. Gravity: how the weakest force in the universe shaped our lives by Brian Clegg Defines gravity, one of the four forces that control the universe and the most mysterious, and discusses Newton's theory about the force of gravity which still didn't explain how gravity works at a distance. Einstein understood that gravity and acceleration are interchangeable and thus devised his theory of general relativity which explains how gravity works. Book cover Gravity

6. The Equations of Life: how physics shapes evolution by Charles S. Cockell Explores the way physics and biology blend together, describing how physics guides evolution. Discusses the limitations of evolution from the confines of physics and argues that alien life would be subject to the same laws and would thus be recognizable judging from the narrow laws of physics that allow species to evolve. Physics - Philosophy Book cover

7. Storm in a Teacup: the physics of everyday life by Helen Czerski Offers new insight on the natural world through explanation of ordinary objects and occurrences, linking them to larger concepts like climate change, energy, and medicine. Physics Book cover

8. About Time: Einsteins unfinished revolution by Paul Davies Examines the mysteries of time, the consequences of Einstein's relativity theory, and reports on the latest research theories. Relativity (Physics) Book cover

9. Universe on a T-Shirt: the quest for the theory of everything by Dan Falk Presents a history of the search for a physics theory that explains everything, from the initial searches for the theory in ancient Greece to the excitement over string theory. Physics - History Book cover

10. Wormholes Explained by Richard Gaughan Explores the theories, physics, and mathematics behind wormholes, highlighting how they might form, what they could be like, and how they could be proven in the future. Includes a glossary, resources for further information, and color photographs. Physics Book cover

11. Einsteins Dice & Schrodingers Cat: how two great minds battled quantum randomness to create a unified theory of physics by Paul Halpern Chronicles the search of Albert Einstein and Erwin Schr dinger to find a better theory of quantum mechanics than the one of their day which depended on its randomness, which Schr dinger made fun of with his cat fable. Book cover Physics - Philosophy

12. Physics I for Dummies by Steven Holzner Presents the fundamentals of physics and covers facts about relativity, time travel, and quantum theory. Physics Book cover

13. The Physics of Super Heroes, 2nd edition by James Kakalios Examines the physics of superheroes and demonstrates that their powers are often well-grounded in science. Explores whether Ant-Man can punch his way out of a paper bag and how Electro becomes Magneto when he runs. Physics Study and Teaching Book cover

14. Smash!: exploring the mysteries of the universe with the Large Hadron Collider by Sara Latta, illustrations by Jeff Weigel Nick and Sophie, two cousins, visit CERN and learn about the Large Hadron Collider, hidden particles, forces, and dark matter. Physics Book cover

15. For the Love of Physics: from the end of the rainbow to the edge of time by Walter Lewin MIT physicist Walter Lewin explains the fundamental principles of physics in entertaining fashion. Discusses rainbows, harmonies, electricity, magnetism, x-ray astronomy, and black holes among other topics. Physics Book cover

16. The Instant Physicist: an illustrated guide by Richard A. Muller, illustrated by Joey Manfre An introduction to physics with a light touch. Features short descriptions of physics concepts accompanied by color cartoons. Physics Book cover

17. The Manga Guide to Relativity by Hideo Nitta, Masafumi Yamamoto and Keita Takatsu In order to spare his classmates from a grueling summer project, Minagi is forced to take an advanced physics course during the summer. With the use of manga graphics, introduces relativity's importance to the study of physics, Newtonian concepts, Einstein's discoveries, Pythagorean theorem's relationship to time dilation, and how gravity can bend light. Relativity Book cover

18. The 4% Universe: dark matter, energy, and the race to discover the rest of reality by Richard Panek Explores the reality that the universe is comprised of only four percent normal matter, while the other ninety-six percent consists of dark matter and dark energy. Details efforts to understand these unknown aspects of our universe and outlines the motivations that fuel this branch of scientific research. Astrophysics Book cover

19. The Fantastic Physics of Films Most Celebrated Secret Agent by Barry Parker Explores the technology of the James Bond films. Describes the basic physics of the gadgets, car weapons, and stunts of the British secret agent. Physics Book cover
