The Physics of Superheroes
Autor James Kakaliosen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2010
Exploring everything from thermo-dynamics to sold state physics, and relating the physics in comic books to such real-world applications as microwave ovens and drivers' air bags, this book shows how comic books have often been ahead of science in explaining cutting-edge physics.

Notă biografică
James Kakalios is a professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota, where he has taught since 1988, and where his class "Everything I Needed to Know About Physics I Learned from Reading Comic Books" is a popular freshman seminar. He received his Ph.D. in 1985 from the University of Chicago, and has been reading comic books for much longer.
