Review: School - Good book I passed my class Review: gonick is the man! - Larry Gonick is a genius at teaching. his fun drawing style and light sense of humor help bring entry level content on topics many have hated in a way they can get into w/o realizing they are learning! i have a phd in molecular biology and also do museum exhibit design and can see both sides of the content and its delivery and the man just knows how to reach folks intuitively then feed them lots of great content to make a hated topic for them fun again. My wife never had physics and this was perfect for her to get the basics. ive given the statistics books to many folks who hated stats and never got it and they all were amazed at how easy it actually was! his history books have a bit of very light irreverent humor, but this puts things in a way to make you think about history, not just learn names and dates, and by thinking about it you LEARN something from history useful for the future. he also is a great story teller so lessons have some sort of character and story usually associated with them or bit of humor, something that helps the mind recall the facts and concepts much more easily than just them given blandly on their own. Any of his books are a wonderful gift to anyone who wants to learn a bit about a subject they were scared of or hated and enjoy it. makes the for dummies books look dumb! these are the next best thing to having a great teacher with you! ## Features - Great product! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #23,266 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #29 in Quantum Theory (Books) #30 in Educational & Nonfiction Graphic Novels #78 in History & Philosophy of Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 781 Reviews | ## Images ![The Cartoon Guide to Physics: A Funny Illustrated Guide Explaining Velocity, Magnetism, Circuits, and Relativity (Cartoon Guide Series, 5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Y1txjqkLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ School *by J***N on March 16, 2026* Good book I passed my class ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ gonick is the man! *by C***4 on May 10, 2013* Larry Gonick is a genius at teaching. his fun drawing style and light sense of humor help bring entry level content on topics many have hated in a way they can get into w/o realizing they are learning! i have a phd in molecular biology and also do museum exhibit design and can see both sides of the content and its delivery and the man just knows how to reach folks intuitively then feed them lots of great content to make a hated topic for them fun again.

Outside of Larry Gonick's excellent "Cartoon History of the Universe" series, this is the best of his books that I have read. There are two sections in the book: `Mechanics', and `Electricity and Magnetism'. The first section deals with motion, forces, Newton's Laws, Energy, and associated topics. The second section deals with electricity and electrical fields, and magnets and magnetic fields. It also touches on relativity and quantum electrodynamics. They do not cover topics such as String Theory or Chaos Theory, which have become increasingly more publicized since this book was published. This book works well as an introduction to the topic, or as a refresher. There is not enough substance for this to serve as a text book, nor do they provide a bibliography to assist the reader in finding more in depth books on any of the topics. However, Gonick does a wonderful job of blending the history of the field with the topics that are covered, and he does so in a way which does not overwhelm the reader. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Cartoon Guide to Physics (Cartoon Guide Series) - The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry (Cartoon Guide Series) - The Cartoon Guide to Calculus (Cartoon Guide Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/2122911-the-cartoon-guide-to-physics-a-funny-illustrated-guide-explaining](https://www.desertcart.be/products/2122911-the-cartoon-guide-to-physics-a-funny-illustrated-guide-explaining) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
