THE PHYSICS BOOK - DK GEBUNDEN

Explore the laws and theories of physics in this accessible introduction to the forces that
shape our Universe  our planet  and our everyday lives. Using a bold  graphic-led approach The
Physics Book sets out more than 80 key concepts and discoveries that have defined the subject
and influenced our technology since the beginning of time. With the focus firmly on unpicking
the thought behind each theory - as well as exploring when and how each idea and breakthrough
came about - seven themed chapters examine the history and developments in areas such as energy
and matter  and electricity and magnetism  as well as quantum  nuclear  and particle physics.
Eureka moments abound: from Pythagoras's observations of the pleasing harmonies created by
vibrating strings  and Galileo's experiments with spheres  to Isaac Newton's apple and his
conclusions about gravity and the laws of motion. You'll also learn about Albert Einstein's
insights into relativity  how the accidental discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation
confirmed the Big Bang theory  the search for the Higgs boson particle  and why most of our
Universe is missing. If you've ever wondered exactly how physicists formulated - and proved -
these abstract concepts  The Physics Book is the book for you.
