Tired of stale old Physics textbooks? I know your
students probably are. Here’s an alternative: “Manga Guide to Physics,” a 248-page graphic novel about two students at a
Japanese high school and how they teach each other about everything from the law of action and reaction and force and motion to
momentum and energy. Happily, there are sections that explain the relevant
formulas as well as a chapter at the end devoted to the units. A great
augmentation of the typical textbook, manga physics costs $200 for the
paperbound book or $16 as a .pdf eBook. There are also manga books about
calculus, statistics and electricity.
