Titles in This Set Reality Is Not What It Seems The Order of Time Seven Brief Lessons on Physics Details Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback Publisher: Penguin Age Range: Adult / Young Adult (16+) Overview This Carlo Rovelli 3 Book Collection Set brings together three of the world's best-loved works of popular physics in one paperback bundle. Reality Is Not What It Seems, The Order of Time, and Seven Brief Lessons on Physics guide readers from ancient atomic theory through to the frontier of quantum gravity, unpicking the true nature of time along the way. Written with clarity and genuine wonder, this set is a perfect introduction to modern physics for students, science lovers, and anyone who has looked at the night sky and wondered what it all means. About the Books Each title tackles a different facet of the universe, yet together they form a coherent journey through modern physics. Reality Is Not What It Seems traces humanity's understanding of matter and space, from ancient Greek philosophy to Einstein's relativity and the frontier of loop quantum gravity, arguing that the world is stranger and more granular than our senses suggest. The Order of Time turns to the most familiar yet elusive of concepts: drawing on thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and relativity, Rovelli shows that time does not flow uniformly, challenging readers to rethink past, present, and future. Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, the slimmest of the three, distils a century of scientific revolution into seven short essays covering relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, particles, and consciousness. Read individually or as a set, these books reward newcomers and seasoned science readers alike, with prose that is precise yet warm, and philosophical without losing rigour—an ideal starting point for exploring contemporary physics without dense textbooks or heavy mathematics. Three acclaimed popular science bestsellers in one paperback set Written by a leading physicist in clear, engaging, non-technical language Covers relativity, quantum mechanics, time, and the nature of the universe Ideal for students, science enthusiasts, and curious general readers Compact, giftable paperback format perfect for shelves or travel Sparks discussion for book clubs, classrooms, and family conversations About the Author Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist known for his work on loop quantum gravity and for making complex physics accessible to general readers.
