Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An introduction to the subject of physics and how it underpins the understanding of the physical world. The treatment avoids detailed mathematics and relates the concepts introduced to the reader's everyday experience. The author makes effective use of line drawings to illustrate the concepts.
Includes index.
