The Physical World offers a grand vision of the essential unity of
physics that will enable the reader to see the world through the
eyes of a physicist and understand their thinking. The text follows
Einstein's dictum that 'explanations should be made as simple as
possible, but no simpler', to give an honest account of how modern
physicists understand their subject, including the shortcomings of
current theory. The result is an up-to-date and engaging portrait
of physics that contains concise derivations of the important
results in a style where every step in a derivation is clearly
explained, so that anyone with the appropriate mathematical skills
will find the text easy to digest. It is over half a century since
The Feynman Lectures in Physics were published. A new authoritative
account of fundamental physics covering all branches of the subject
is now well overdue. The Physical World has been written to satisfy
this need. The book concentrates on the conceptual principles of
each branch of physics and shows how they fit together to form a
coherent whole. Emphasis is placed on the use of variational
principles in physics, and in particular the principle of least
action, an approach that lies at the heart of modern theoretical
physics, but has been neglected in most introductory accounts of
the subject.
