Books by James Kakalios

Exploring everything from thermo-dynamics to sold state physics, and relating the physics in comic books to such real-world applications as microwave ovens and drivers' air bags, this book shows how comic books have often been ahead of science in explaining cutting-edge physics.

Physics professor, bestselling author and dynamic storyteller James Kakalios reveals the mind-bending science behind the seemingly basic things that keep our daily lives running, from our smartphones and digital 'clouds' to x-ray machines and hybrid vehicles.
