Description
Physics A Very Short Introduction by Sidney Perkowitz Physics is the fundamental science that underlies our understanding of the universe, encompassing all levels of nature from the subatomic to the cosmic. This pervasive science has a profound impact on our environment and our place within it, making it essential for humanity's quest to understand and sustain the planet. This book provides an overview of physics, from its origins with the Greek natural philosophers to modern quantum mechanics, cosmology, and digital electronics. Perkowitz explores the theories and outcomes of pure and applied physics, including the most consequential experiments, and discusses the effects of physics on society, culture, and humanity's vision of its place in the universe. The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press offers a perfect introduction to a wide range of subjects, with expert authors combining facts, analysis, and enthusiasm to make complex topics highly readable.
