A complete update to the hit book on the real physics at
work in comic books, featuring more heroes, more villains,
and more science Since 2001, James Kakalios has taught "Everything I Needed
to Know About Physics I Learned from Reading Comic Books," a
hugely popular university course that generated
coast-to-coast media attention for its unique method of
explaining complex physics concepts through comics. With The
Physics of Superheroes, named one of the best science books
of 2005 by Discover, he introduced his colorful approach to
an even wider audience. Now Kakalios presents a totally
updated, expanded edition that features even more
superheroes and findings from the cutting edge of science.
With three new chapters and completely revised throughout
with a splashy, redesigned package, the book that explains
why Spider-Man's webbing failed his girlfriend, the probable
cause of Krypton's explosion, and the Newtonian physics at
work in Gotham City is electrifying from cover to cover.
