Colorful illustrations set off this easy to understand discussion of the basic principles of physics. The text is humorous and laden with examples from popular understanding, and the pictures give each principle a personality. The principles of physics introduce themselves and their properties, and even make fun of each other. The book is not as thorough as a textbook, but is much easier to understand, and a great preparation for the subject for students about to enter middle school. The small size of the book makes the subject more approachable, and the large text clearly explains every subject. The illustrations aren't perfect for highlighting the presented concepts, but they are memorable and make the book appealing across genders. The chapters are organized according to their attributes, and have color-coding and nicknames like "The Wave Gang" and "Nuclear Heavies," to make them easier to recall. ( ) This adroit and delightful introduction to an oft-recondite topic covers a lot of ground in charming yet substantial fashion. I recall being disappointed as a child that atoms weren't really little beings with faces (the fact that they were so small made up for that, however); this book anthropomorphizes Blackbody Radiation, Friction, Entropy and Sound! And does it quite well, too! A fine and unique science read on any level, and highly recommended. This book is written about physics. This book explain a lots of physical concepts. For instance Energy, Entropy, Ultraviolet and so on. Some difficult wards are there. But, I think this book is very easy to understand. Because, this book discrib physical concepts as if its are human. And Many funny illustration. "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." Albert Einstein Yup, that just about sums up what's going on here, proving the Einstein's smaller theories were pretty solid as well. The physical world and its inhabitants are once again anthropomorphed and grouped by association. We get the Old School dudes (Mass, Weight, Density, &c.), the Hot Stuff (Energy, Entropy...), the Wave Gang (Sound, Frequency...), the Light Crew (Radio, Microwave...), and so on. It's all here, each aspect with its own spread, a first-person breakdown on the one side and a graffiti-like cartoon portrait on the other. There's also a "first discovered" box and a short historical list of how or when they were famously employed. As with the Periodic Table: Elements With Style, I think this book works best in the classroom as a supplemental text (though used correctly they could be primary) with wide appeal. A great introduction for budding young scientists to the basics of physics, a playful refresher for older young scientists, and an easily digestible crash-course for adults who need the background to keep up with their budding young scientists. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
