"The earth is round, so why don't some people hang upside down? The answer is gravity! Young readers can explore the concept of gravity with vibrant, full-color photos, clear text, and critical thinking questions"--.

Gravity addresses the natural phenomenon that both philosophers and mathematicians have been curious about for centuries and the science that makes it all possible. It begins in the time of Aristotle, where the book explains why and how the evolution of thought contributed to the understanding of force, acceleration, and resistance, the early pieces to the puzzle of gravity. Once the basics have been established, the text dives headfirst into Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity and Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation in order to explain one of the universe's greatest mysteries and the effects these discoveries have had on the world.

In graphic novel format Dr. Cosmic's class of monsters looks at gravity, comets, and the Solar system.

Discusses the possibilities of wormholes and how they are made.

Uses popular cartoon character Wile E. Coyote to demonstrate science concepts involved with flight and gravity.

"Our modern understanding of the heliocentric universe developed five hundred years ago. Since the time of Copernicus and Galileo, scientists have made major strides in understanding how gravity, stars, and planets interact. 'Gravity, Orbiting Objects, and Planetary Motion' explains how early ideas have given way to sophisticated, proven theories about the universe. The book aligns with Next Generation Science Standards and also presents a look at what is next in the cutting-edge field of astronomy"--Amazon.com.

Introduces readers to the science of gravity, explaining the physics behind the phenomenon through graphs and activities.
