Hi,
I haven't done physics since year 10, and will be doing physics next year at college, it is involving the concepts i will list below, with a emphasis on the physics of the human body with them, so if it involves this it'll be great.
I want a book that has fairly simple explanations, is rather fun to read, and easy to follow hoping with diagrams and an interesting approach.
Perhaps i need a couple of books? One would be the best, but i can't hope for that.
Mechanics: in the context of human and animal movement (introduction to Newton's laws of motion, energy transfer and transformation).
Waves: the basis of modern physics including lasers;
Fluids: blood flow, respiration (pressure in fluids, fluid flow, viscosity);
Thermal physics: energy balance of living organisms (thermal energy, temperature, heating processes, first law of thermodynamics);
Electricity and magnetism: bioelectricity, nerve conduction, electrical safety (forces between electric charges, electric circuits, resistance, capacitance, magnetic forces);
Atomic physics and lasers: fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy (structure of the atom, photons, spectroscopy, interaction of light with matter);
Radiation: radiation safety, therapeutic uses of radiation (the atomic nucleus, isotopes, nuclear decay and radiation, physical and biological half-life, ionising radiation); and
Imaging: modern biomedical imaging (X-rays, CT-scans and angiography, ultrasound imaging, positron emission tomography).
Thanks
