A thorough grounding in contemporary physics while placing the
subject into its social and historical context. Based largely on
the highly respected Project Physics Course developed by two of the
authors, it also integrates the results of recent pedagogical

world and the concepts developed to explain them; shows that
science is a rational human endeavour with a long and continuing
tradition, involving many different cultures and people; develops
facility in critical thinking, reasoned argumentation, evaluation
of evidence, mathematical modelling, and ethical values. The
treatment emphasises not only what we know but also how we know it,
why we believe it, and what effects this knowledge has.
