The Physics Book

This is a great book for people who want to understand physics and learn about the physicists who invented and/or worked on. This book is not going to teach you how to become a physicist. The is no math in this book. But, it is a great book for the general public who want to learn about the subject. The book is written in sections by subjects. Then explains the individuals that were attached to the subject and explains what the subject is about. If you are looking to learn how to be a physicist, you need to look elsewhere for a physics book that also has math. This book is not a stepping stone towards learning how to do physics. This is a book that's a fun read, yet informative.

Hubby loves it

Book as described. Actually took the time to wrap it properly. Well above what most sellers provide to preserve books during shipping. Wish others did as much.

I had heard that this was a good book for learning physics. While it is entertaining, and I have enjoyed reading it, there are no physics problems or solutions. It is more of a history book about who came up with what idea and the significance of those ideas. It give a small biography of the people that came up with the ideas, usually a couple of pages per idea. It is educational, and a good read, but if you are looking for a book to teach you how to solve physics problems this is not the book.

The book was in very good condition and was clearly a value for money investment

Great for beginners!

I ordered this book for my son's birthday. He was thrilled with it and started reading it immediately. He loves learning about science and is always watching science documentaries and reading interesting books about science. The pages are arranged with illustrations and text that describes the topic in typical DK-style. This book is a great choice for teens who are interested in science.

My son is constantly asking me questions about physics. He has a very curious mind and absolutely loved getting this book as a gift. Highly recommend for fellow kiddos who love science, are interested in physics, and are curious.
