The Science of Physics
As the foundation for other natural sciences, physics helps us interpret our most basic and most complex observations of the natural world. Physics encompasses such topics as mechanics, relativity, thermodynamics, and electricity. All of which elucidate the nature of matter, its motion, and its relationship to force and energy. This engaging volume surveys some of the major branches of physics, the laws, and theories significant to each. Also chronicled are some of the historical milestones in the field by such great minds as Galileo and Isaac Newton.
