<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Quantum physics is the science of minute particles smaller than a nanometer (a billionth of a meter). This entertaining illustrated guide introduces kids to light, waves and particles, mass, atoms, molecules, matter and antimatter, and so much more. Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Everything around us - trees, buildings, food, light, water, air and even ourselves - is composed of minute particles, smaller than a nanometer (a billionth of a meter). Quantum physics is the science of these particles and without it none of our electronic devices, from smartphones to computers and microwave ovens, would exist. <p>But quantum physics also pushes us to the very boundaries of what we know about science, reality and the structure of the universe. The world of quantum physics is an amazing place, where quantum particles can do weird and wonderful things, acting totally unlike the objects we experience in day-to-day life. How can atoms exist in two places at once? And just how can a cat be dead and alive at the same time? Find out more with this entertaining illustrated guide to the fascinating, mysterious world of quantum physics. <p>Topics include: quanta, light, waves and particles, mass, photons, atoms, molecules, spectra, wave-particle duality, matter and antimatter, Schrödinger's cat, the Uncertainty Principle, probability waves, quantum entanglement, radioactivity and quarks.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"a fantastic resource"--bringingupcharlie "http: //www.bringingupcharlie.co.uk "<br><br>"A great starter book for any child who is showing so much willingness to learn or for those who are struggling to get to grips with science at school. It is, therefore, a book for all levels and even for us adults if we've forgotten or got lost along the way." 2nd April 2018--Rachel Jess "http: //www.rachaeljess.com/ "<br><br>"A perfect book to start our Science collections. It is a book I think I will be referring back to for years to come"--https: //ofamilylearningtogether.com/ "https: //ofamilylearningtogether.com/ "<br><br>"Bright and stylishly retro... readers will come away with plenty of new vocabulary, plus nodding acquaintances with Einstein and other greats, Schrödinger's cat, and the central role of quantum physics in current and future tech."--Kirkus Reviews "https: //www.kirkusreviews.com/ "<br><br>"Educator Ferrón takes a lively approach to quantum physics, detailing the history of classical physics and introducing key concepts. Models and charts offer concrete representations of concepts, while a spread devoted to future uses for modern physics (teleportation, flexible screens, nanorobots) should further captivate readers."--Publishers Weekly "Publishers Weekly "<br><br>"Filled with colorful and playful illustrations by graphic designer Eduard Altarriba, the book provides a basic introduction for children as young as eight to the development and key concepts of that highly complex subject."--Physics Today, August 2018 "Physics Today "<br><br>"I love its bright and happy style and the plethora of facts and information to pour over. This one is definitely for all those budding scientists out there!"--@book.nerd.mommy "Book Nerd Mommy "<br><br>"It is absolutely stunning & super BURSTING with facts for +8 year olds!"--WRDaboutbooks "WRDaboutb0ooks [twitter] "<br><br>"It seems an impossible topic but the authors succeed brilliantly in making the world of quantum physics clear and understandable through the role it plays in our everyday lives. The book relies heavily on visual impact, with colourful layouts, masses of explanatory diagrams and friendly cartoon characters to help readers understand; the explanations are clear and concise every user-friendly. Who would have thought quantum physics could be so engrossing? Perfect for all ages, to really encourage an interest in science and to de-mystify it." 2nd April 2018--Parents in Touch "http: //parentsintouch.co.uk/ "<br><br>"Now you would think just by reading these topics that it wouldn't be of interest to young. But, you are wrong. This book is written especially for young children, to introduce them to the key concepts of quantum physics, in the easiest and most entertaining way possible. If your children love science or are just curious about the world around them, then you should consider picking up this Button Books children's book, My First Quantum Physics Book." 14th September (US Blogger)<br><br>"Quantum physics has an image problem. Spooky, wacky, strange--the adjectives often used to describe its inner workings--paint a picture of an esoteric discipline. Yet, it is the rules of quantum physics that dictate the structure of matter, that help interpret the signals from distant stars, and that make your smartphone run. This message is nicely conveyed in My First Book of Quantum Physics... The illustrations are clear, eye-catching, and consistent... The book leaves young readers with a sense of quantum physics as a vibrant, active pursuit that has and will continue to influence their lives in very real ways."--Science "Science "<br><br>"The illustrations and graphics in this book are sensational... Non-fiction is upping it's game in styling and illustrative-style and this is a perfect example of why non-fiction books need not be dull, dry and boring when they can be cool, entertaining and fun! 19th April 2018--Book Bairn "http: //www.bookbairn.com/ "<br><br>"The very friendly illustrations, and quite large font size in this book belies the difficultly level of the subject matter and text in this absorbing yet challenging physics book. This is an exciting book in that it leads to further thought and investigation rather than just imparting knowledge. There are good colourful graphics that attempt to illuminate the harder principles... Amusing, stimulating and challenging - an awesome if ambitious science book." 7th November 2018--http: //www.minervareads.com "http: //www.minervareads.com "<br><br>"The way this book is written is a masterpiece. Things I've never ever been able to wrap my mind around are presented with such clear language and examples. If you have an older child, this would be the perfect book to start getting back into the school frame-of-mind, but in a fun, summer way"--Picture Book Playdate "Instagram: PictureBookPlaydate "<br><br>"The way Quantum Physics is broken down in this work of art, makes it interesting for kids. If you have a child that is into STEM, I highly recommend this"--dreamreaderkids), [67 like-2.9K follows "Instagram: Dream Reader Kids "<br><br>"This amazing book is aimed at children aged 8] so I thought I would show it to DS9 today to see what he thought of it. He wasn't fazed by the fact that it's known to be one of the hardest subjects to study, he just opened it up like a regular book, read the simple information and studied the eye-catching illustrations."--The World is their Classroom "https: //theworldistheirclassroom.blogspot.com/2018/08/my-first-book-of-quantum-physics-review.html "<br><br>"This book is a brilliant introduction to the world of quantum physics...
