About this audiobook
From the host of the History channel's Brad Meltzer's Decoded: the laws of the universe like you've never experienced them before.
This approachable audiobook explains the world of physics with clarity, humor, and a dash of adventure. Physics for Rock Stars is not a weighty treatise on science, but a personal tour of physics from a quirky friend.
Anyone who's ever wondered why nature abhors a vacuum, what causes magnetic attraction, or how to jump off a moving train or do a perfect stage dive will find answers and a few laughs too. No equations, numbers, or tricky concepts-just an inspiring and comical romp through the basics of physics and the beauty of the organized universe.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Math is an area of opportunity for both my children. So, of course, enter for this book! Being summer break, asking them to read a book about math seemed unfair. Unless, I read it first.This was a fun read, and made physics interesting. Concepts were easy to follow, there was quite a bit of humor throughout, and it was not complex. Best of all, I keep telling my kids that math is used all the time, every day. They don't think they will ever use it after school. This book shows how we use math constantly.I would highly recommend this as required reading for anyone in need of a little mathematical motivation!
