Peace and Blessings...
I am beginning a journey to teach myself physics... I love to read and do simple at home experiments... I figured it would be easier on me to begin with elementary through high school level books to aid in my study as I do not have the money to purchase textbooks...
Would you mind giving me your opinion of the following beginning remedial books, as well as suggest books that may follow these concurrently?
I am a poet and lover of knowledge and find the math and sciences a bit too technical to appreciate until I hear the principles and concepts espoused from someone who knows how to interpret their understanding to someone like me... I am thoroughly intrigued and would like to continue my studies and investigation... I have a particular interest in quantum physics... and chaos theory... though the technical language is at times difficult... some of the concepts are intriguing... I am looking for books that speak to the most basic elementary concepts... so that I can grasp them and feel confident enough to gradually move into more technical explanations...
I have purchased the first book (Atom) and listed others that I felt were easy to being with... I browsed through them and found them easy to read...
1. "Atom: Journey Across the Subatomic Cosmos" by Isaac Asimov {I have begun reading this book}
2. My next purchase will be: "Basic Physics:A Self Teaching Guide" by Karl F. Kuhn
I have already purchased "Physics for Poets" by Robert March... someone recommended it to me... but I do not feel prepared for it as of yet... My eyes glaze over on the math sections...
