| Dear Reader: |
| Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, and Dover has been publishing texts in the field for nearly 70 years. This month, we've arranged our impressive list of physics books into two easy-to-browse selections, one for general readers, the other featuring more advanced texts. You can also explore all of the latest additions to our math and science catalog. Plus, popular science author John Gribbin is in the spotlight with a wide-ranging interview and excerpts from the new Dover edition of his delightful book Get a Grip on Physics. |
Physics: Books for General Reader
While physics can be a challenging field, Dover offers numerous books that help make the discipline accessible to just about any reader. From Martin Gardner's Relativity Simply Explained to Thirty Years that Shook Physics: The Story of Quantum Theory by George Gamow, you'll find engrossing titles that help explain quarks, symmetry, cosmology, and other fascinating subjects. |
Physics: Advanced Texts
Students, professors, and professionals turn to Dover for affordable paperback editions of many standard physics texts. We publish classic works by such Nobel Laureates as Richard P. Feynman, Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Paul A. M. Dirac, Gerhard Herzberg, Wolfgang Pauli, and Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar as well as contemporary books by latest thinkers within the discipline. |
Author Interview: John Gribbin
In our new paperback edition of Get a Grip on Physics, John Gribbin offers down-to-earth discussions of string theory, black holes, superfluidity, and other cosmic oddities. Dover's Shelley Kronzek goes one-on-one with the popular science author to discuss how an astrophysicist who once worked in the laboratory for the famous Fred Hoyle can explain such complicated phenomena with simplicity and humor. |
New & Back-in-Print Titles
Dover's outstanding catalog of mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, and other science fields continues to grow. Our latest titles and back-in-print classics include Vector and Tensor Analysis by George E. Hay, Melvin Lax's Symmetry Principles in Solid State and Molecular Physics, and Sir Isaac Newton's comprehensive 18th-century survey Opticks. |
Free Book Excerpt
With John Gribbin's Get a Grip on Physics, readers of all ages will appreciate memorable explanations of the laws of physics and their application to everything from massive stars to miniscule atoms. Playful engravings and cartoons illustrate his imaginative accounts of the workings of string theory, black holes, superfluidity, and other cosmic oddities--and you can easily download an excerpt. |
