The Isaac Newton School of Driving

This book is based on Parker's classroom discussions at Idaho State U., where he discovered a winning teaching formula combining physics with automotive examples. The book describes nearly every aspect of physics as they related to cars from basic mechanics including velocity, acceleration, momentum, and torque, to more advanced concepts including heat transfer and efficiency, electricity and magnetism, and aerodynamics. The generously illustrated book is accessible to anyone who remembers high school algebra, and will appeal to car enthusiasts and science aficionados alike. Parker is the author of Einstein's Dream and Relativity Made Easy. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
