Description

All things in the universe are governed by the laws of science, but what happens when nature acts in unexpected ways? Why does the bizarre behavior of tiny particles in the quantum world bamboozle us? How can objects on opposite sides of the universe be connected?

In Quarks, Sparks and Quantum Mysteries, award-winning astrophysicist Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith takes young readers on a journey to meet the invisible forces that guide everything from the smallest atom to the shape of the cosmos, exploring theories of space and time, black holes, gravitational waves, and much more.

Critical Reviews

An introduction to complex physics concepts that is both clear and engaging for young readers... Compared to other physics titles for this age group, this offers greater depth while remaining easy to follow. It respects the intelligence of young readers and invites them into the wonders of physics... A strong addition to any STEM collection, this title makes tough-science feel truly accessible.-- "School Library Journal"
