Critics Review

“I found the cartoon approach of this book so compelling and its story so endearing that I recommend that every teacher of introductory physics, in both high school and college, consider using it.”—American Journal of Physics“This is a perfect introduction to four key physics concepts–law of action and reaction, force and motion, momentum, and energy–especially for fans of anime and manga.”<—School Library Journal“Overall, we found the books absolutely amazing for teaching complex ideas and theories to people of nearly any age.”<—Physics Today
