## Description

The fourth addition to the Ponderables series, Physics: An Illustrated History of the Foundations Science follows famous scientists and other experts through the ages as they unravel the fabric of the universe to reveal the array of fundamental forces, intangible articles, and indestructible energy that make up one of our core scientific studies. Filled with glorious color photos, imagery and diagrams, this authoritative volume even includes a simple physics guide and timeline that add new context to the fresh mysteries such as Higgs Boson, supersymmetry, and dark energy. Biographies of the great physicists plus 100 chronological articles on the history of physics build on the popular Who did what when? Ponderables trademark. In a world where technology and science have become familiar and exciting subjects, Physics finally lays wide open one of science s more mystifying facets, the knowledge without which everything else from astronomy to zoology would simply be meaningless conjecture.

Review: Great book about physics - It is really great book about physics from ancient times up to now. Beautiful pictures, great explanations. Its not a text book for school. But I wish I could have such book in Basic school or starting University and having physics as well. On top of dry material I had to go through and was discouraged. It makes you interested. I would say good broad intro into physics.
Review: My son practically inhaled this book. - This was a Christmas gift for my 14 year old son who loves science. He finished it in about 10 days. He absolutely loved it. I think the pictures are beautiful.
