Reviews

Do try this at home. Satisfaction guaranteed for every inquisitive soul. -- Dr Eppo Bruins, Member of Parliament, The Netherlands A gold mine of physics in the world around us, ranging from light to sound and from indoors to outdoors, written in a friendly style with beautiful diagrams, photos, and explanations. Each chapter is a joy to read. -- Prof Sanjoy Mahajan, MIT I love the book. I am not sure I have ever before seen a physics book look as 'friendly'. My physics pupils would love this book. The content is relevant to the physics curriculum for 15-18 year olds. I like how it flows and the way the topics are applicable to the world. -- Jacqueline Sexton, Physics Teacher
