Physics is fundamental to our understanding of the world around us. Everyone should have at least a basic knowledge.
This book explains some of the most interesting parts of physics in simple terms. It dips in, never taking more than two pages for one topic. There is even a good selection of experiments you can do at home
It is suitable for any student of science as well as anyone wanting to enhance their knowledge.
""Engages the reader and inspires them to find out more."
"Clear and understandable. I like the conversational style."
"It made physics interesting, even magical.""
There is now a Teachers' Edition of this book. It is packed with A4 worksheets for you to photocopy. Some are comprehension passages and questions; others are experiment instruction sheets.
A few words from the author:
Physics is a hard subject. Everyone knows that. Tell someone that you are studying physics and they will be impressed. This will probably be followed by a comment along the lines of "I could never do that at school." It is still one of the most demanding GCSEs and A-Levels.
This book is an attempt to serve up some of the best bits of physics. It should give you an understanding of the key concepts in modern physics. Along the way I hope you will be convinced that the heart of physics isn't all that hard after all. Perhaps you'll even be able to explain it to your friends and family...
A great present for Christmas for someone studying physics or anyone who is interested in the world.
