From the publisher

What does E=mc2 actually mean? Dr. Brian Cox and Professor Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of twenty-first century science to unpack Einstein's famous equation. Explaining and simplifying notions of energy, mass, and light-while exploding commonly held misconceptions-they demonstrate how the structure of nature itself is contained within this equation. Along the way, we visit the site of one of the largest scientific experiments ever conducted: the now-famous Large Hadron Collider, a gigantic particle accelerator capable of re-creating conditions that existed fractions of a second after the Big Bang. A collaboration between one of the youngest professors in the United Kingdom and a distinguished popular physicist, Why Does E=mc2? is one of the most exciting and accessible explanations of the theory of relativity.

Book Conditions Explained

Biblio’s Book Conditions

As New

The book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.

Fine (F)

A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.

Near Fine (NrFine or NF)

Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.

Very Good (VG)

A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.

Good (G or Gd.)

The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”

Fair

It is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.

Poor (P)

A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
