Physics explores the scientific view of the world as it has
developed from the earliest theories of Aristotle, Euclid, and
Newton to modern theories, such as Einstein's relativity and
quantum mechanics. The classic text's chief distinction is its
time-proven ability to overcome anxieties about science by arousing
interest in imaginative ideas. Those curious about physics but
lacking science and mathematics backgrounds will find well-told
history and countless stimulating examples. The historical approach
enables students to examine philosophical questions from many
viewpoints and ot see how current theory evolved.
Physics has been thoroughly tested and refined by several decades
of classroom teaching. A new prologue covers the years since the
original 1968 edition. Chapter source notes, review problems,
questions and answers, and mathematical appendices are included for
those wishing to pursue topics further. The material is
supplemented with clear line drawings, illustrations, graphs,
charts, and tables.
