Showing results for "James" in Physics

Asked to name a great physicist, most people would mention Newton or Einstein, Feynman or Hawking. But ask a physicist and there’s no doubt that James Clerk Maxwell will be near the top of the list. Maxwell, an unassuming Victorian Scotsman, explained how we perceive color. He uncovered the way gases behave. And, most significantly, he transformed the way physics was undertaken in his explanation of the interaction of electricity and magnetism, revealing the nature of light and laying the groundwork for everything from Einstein’s special relativity to modern electronics.

What is electricity? Not just in theory, but really. What is it? Where did it come from? Who figured it out? How does it move, store, think, and shape the entire world? This isn’t a textbook. It’s the real story of how humans stumbled into one of the most powerful forces in nature and slowly, painfully, turned it into the thing that runs civilization.

What is color? Not just pigment. Not just light. Not even just perception. Color is a system. A language written in wavelengths, built by biology, shaped by culture, and weaponized by power. From ancient dyes to modern marketing, from the psychology of red to the physics of violet, COLOR is a vibrant walk through everything we think we see… and everything we’ve been trained to feel. Explore how the brain edits the spectrum, how flags and uniforms manipulate emotion, how art history is lined with poison, and why no one saw “blue” until they invented a word for it. This is not a book about art.

What do apples, atoms, black holes, and time machines all have in common? They all follow the same rules, the laws of physics. Physics 101 is is a fast-paced, story-driven walkthrough of how we figured out the rules that govern reality. From ancient thinkers dropping guesses to modern geniuses dropping equations, this book tracks the wild, mind-bending history of motion, matter, energy, and everything in between.

The Los Angeles Times headline screamed: Rocket Scientist Killed in Pasadena Explosion. The man known as Jack Parsons, a maverick rocketeer who helped transform a derided sci-fi plotline into actuality, was at first mourned as a scientific prodigy. But reporters soon uncovered a more shocking story: Parsons had been a devotee of the city’s occult scene.

The Path to Prosperity by James Allen. James Allen (1864 - 1912) was a philosopher and a pioneer of New Thought movement. His works have formed the basis of much of the curriculum used today by many motivational and self-help groups,His first book, which published in 1901, was From Poverty to Power, subtitled The Realization of Prosperity and Peace. Allen described this book as "A Book for all those who are in search of better conditions, wider freedom, and increased usefulness." The book consist of two separate volumes, The Path To Prosperity (sometimes rendered as The Path of Prosperity)...

This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean. We review some of the most important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe.

Stephen Hawking was supposed to be dead by 23. Diagnosed with ALS at Cambridge and given just two years to live, he lost his voice, his mobility, and nearly every physical function — but never his fire. Instead of fading, he rewrote the universe. From black holes to Big Bangs, radiation to multiverses, Hawking transformed modern physics with a single cheek muscle and a voice made of code. He became the most famous scientist alive — not just for what he survived, but for what he discovered.

What began as a scientific breakthrough ended as a blueprint for annihilation. In The Atom Unleashed, James Johnson unpacks the explosive history of nuclear discovery—from Einstein’s quiet equations to Chernobyl’s glowing ruins. This is not just the story of a bomb, but the story of how we turned theoretical physics into geopolitical theology, and how one equation rewrote the rules of power, fear, and what it means to be human. With precision and relentless clarity, JJ turns the nuclear story into a mirror—one that forces us to ask not just what we’ve done, but who we became while doing it.

Ever heard of string theory, general relativity, or the Riemann Hypothesis and thought, “What in the world are they even talking about?” You’re not alone—and this book is your shortcut through the fog. "The Hardest Stuff Simplified" breaks down some of the most complicated ideas in the universe—from quantum field theory to philosophy of consciousness—and makes them not just understandable but actually fun. With metaphors, humor, and a sharp instinct for clarity, JJ walks you through the kind of topics that usually live in dusty college textbooks and brings them to life. You don’t need a PhD.
