The essential Toilet Book of Physics is a short and entertaining introduction into the socially relevant cutting edge world of physics. Aimed at the general reader, the book presupposes no prior knowledge nor experience in the subject, only a genuine curiosity and interest in broadening perspective. In twelve jargon free accessible chapters, the book covers the essential areas of the science, from relativity to quantum mechanics, from particle theory to cosmology, and much besides. Each topic is approached from a historical viewpoint, engaging the reader on a whistle-stop tour ending with the most up to date theories and ideas in the particular field. Finally, for the truly inspired, there is a recommended list of further reading and great videos and podcasts not to be missed.
