Produktbeschreibung

WINNER 2009 CHOICE AWARD OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE! Written for the nonscientist, this primer tells the story of what we have found out about nature so far and how we have done it. It delves into basic laws regarding motion, fundamental forces, electromagnetism, and light; introduces major theories pondered by scientists, including relativity, quantum mechanics, and particle physics; describes the key role played by that elemental building block, the atom; and discusses the evolution of the universe. While it requires only minimal math, it does require enough of a sense of curiosity to consider what are the factors that keep our universe so orderly, operational, and beautiful.
