Fysikk er studiet om universet og alt som finnes i det. Som en del av vår bestselgende «Store temaer for begynnere»-serien, er denne boken en døråpner inn til fysikkens verden. Fra de gåtefulle, usynlige kvantepartiklene til galaksenes former. I stedet for å beskrive detaljerte fysikkeksperimenter, fokuserer boken på hva ulike grener av fysikken handler om, hvordan vi kjenner til dem, hva kunnskaper om fysikk kan hjelpe oss med og hvilke mysterier som gjenstår å avdekke for fysikere in spe. Boken viker ikke unna de vanskelige temaene, og beskriver sorte hull, kvantemekanikk og til og med Einsteins relativitetsteorier. Få en spennende og reflekterende innføring i fysikken, med en sjarmerende miks av korte tekster og fargerike illustrasjoner. Passer for de litt eldre barna, 9-12 år, men definitivt også for ungdom, 12-16 år, som vurderer å ta fysikk som fag på videregående skole.

Artificial Intelligence is all about humans asking computers and other machines to think and even behave like humans, and to take on jobs that people find too difficult or too boring. But how do you actually define the term? What exactly can machines with AI already do, and what might they be able to do in the future? This book answers all the questions - where answers exist - and raises debating points at every turn about what it all means. Should we be asking machines to do creative tasks, such as writing and illustrating books? Do we need to worry if intelligent machines need to be treated like people? Is there a chance that machines might take over the world, either by accident or on purpose? Is there any point going to school and doing homework if computers can do it all for us, and better?
