Have you ever seen a magician make something disappear and question if anything could really just vanish? Do you know why the periodic table is set up the way it is? From Lavoisier and Joule to Dalton and Mendeleyev, take a look at the basic principles of matter and thermodynamics in a fun and exciting way.

APlusPhysics: Your Guide to Regents Physics Essentials is a clear and concise roadmap to the entire New York State Regents Physics curriculum, preparing students for success in their high school physics class as well as review for high marks on the Regents Physics Exam. Topics covered include pre-requisite math and trigonometry; kinematics; forces; Newton's Laws of Motion, circular motion and gravity; impulse and momentum; work, energy, and power; electrostatics; electric circuits; magnetism; waves; optics; and modern physics. Featuring more than five hundred questions from past Regents exams with worked out solutions and detailed illustrations, this book is integrated with the APlusPhysics.com website, which includes online question and answer forums, videos, animations, and supplemental problems to help you master Regents Physics essentials.

"How do our bodies manage to heal wounds, build the stamina to run marathons, and give us the energy—even while we’re sleeping—to keep us alive and functioning? Matter and Energy for Growth and Activity prompts high school students to explore fascinating questions like these. It takes a new approach to teaching essential ideas about food, human body systems, matter and energy changes, and chemical reactions. Developed by a team of scientists and science educators and then tested in classrooms, the 14 phenomena-based lessons in this book follow a coherent sequence. They unfold in two main sections: (1) making sense of the matter changes involved in human growth and (2) making sense of the energy changes involved in human growth and activity" -- back cover.

This is a story of space, time, matter, energy and energy conversion. Written by Joseph Y. Hui, aka Solar Man, this book survey the nature of energy, its expansion in spacetime since the Big Bang, its condensation as matter, and its exertion as different kinds of forces, and its manifestation as different kinds of energies. The bulk of the book is about energy conversion and its impact on the environment. There are five major sources of energy conversion into each other: motion, electromagnetic,light, chemical and heat. We introduce each topic on 2 page layout of scientists. They may have discovered and explained the physical phenomenon. They may have created the invention of energy collection, storage, conversion and use. Many of the inventions are due to Solar Man in his quest to solve the three E problems: Energy, Environment, and Education. His inventions involve water, energy, food, information, and transportation with acronym we-fit. The book is also written as a prototype for Solar Wonderland, a science amusement park for educating on the 3E's. Solar Man's motto is "Live a comfortable but sustainable life". Solar Man also plan to commercialize his inventions by Monarch Power, his R&D company.

By focusing on the conceptual issues faced by nineteenth century physicists, this book clarifies the status of field theory, the ether, and thermodynamics in the work of the period. A remarkably synthetic account of a difficult and fragmentary period in scientific development.

Looks at what matter is, and examines the different states that it can change into.

This survey was written at the invitation of the Editors of the "Ergebnisse der Physiologie". Its aim is to present the more recent progress in the know ledge of biological energy transformations. Since it was intended for a review journal, the reader was taken to be familiar with the fundamentals of current biochemistry, as described in the standard textbooks. It was not the object to compile an extensive collection of facts. The survey is limited to aspects of wider interest, and the main emphasis has been on the general unifying principles which emerge from the great mass of detailed ob servations. The article is reprinted in the hope that it may be useful in this form to advanced students and research workers in biochemistry and related subjects. H. A. KREBS H. L.
