The Science Library: Electricity, Energy, and Technology

And last but not least we're covering electromagnetism.  Well, not in quite so many words, and certainly not with Maxwell's equations.  Just the basics of voltages and currents and resistances.  Nary a word on capacitors or inductors or transformers or how electricity and magnetism are really just the same thing and electric currents can induce magnetic fields and vice versa.  The human may have spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME in school learning about this.  Or at least she has a piece of paper that says she did.

And that leads us to other forms of energy and how energy can be transformed from one type into another, and really, everything is just waves and radiation.  We're not going to go into photons and how light is a particle and wave at the same time because that's really weird and mind-boggling but it works somehow.

And finally finally, the technology of the future.  Sadly, we do not get a detailed set of textbooks on computer science and computational theory and computer architecture and compilers and all that stuff that tells you how those magic chunks of metal and plastic really work and how to break them.

So one hundred and one science books will have to do.
