Excellent coverage!
This book succinctly explains the major ideas of physics. It is not a physics textbook; rather a survey for someone who wants to acquaint themselves with basic coverage.

Succinct, Clear Discussion of the Most Important Physics Ideas
This book delivers on its promise. It provides a clear, succinct discussion of the most important ideas in physics. It is written for laypersons and is easy to comprehend. Topics covered include everything from Newton's laws of motion to cosmic inflation and dark matter. I will find the book particularly useful as a handy reference tool when I'm reading one of the many books on the market for non-scientists who have an interest in physics and astronomy. Often such books refer to many of the ideas discussed in this book but don't clearly define them. Or define them in terms that a layperson will find hard to understand. So, if you read physics books for pleasure and need a useful reference tool, this book is ideal.

Great for Middle or High School students
Great book for physics students to experience an array of natural phenomena explained in terms of the laws of physical science. Great basis for student research papers.

Absolutely love it!
This book is an absolute triumph! It's a brilliant and accessible guide to the fundamental concepts that govern our universe. Joanne Baker expertly navigates complex topics with clarity and conciseness, making even the most challenging theories understandable and engaging.Each chapter delves into a key physics idea, from classic laws like gravity and motion to mind-bending concepts like quantum theory and relativity. The book is perfectly paced, offering bite-sized explanations that are both informative and thought-provoking.What sets this book apart are the insightful diagrams and timelines that accompany each idea. They provide a visual context and historical perspective, making the learning experience even richer.Whether you're a student, a science enthusiast, or simply curious about the world around you, this book is a must-read. It's a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to grasp the essential principles of physics without getting bogged down in complicated jargon. I highly recommend it!

Repasa algunas cuestiones de la física
La versión en español cuesta el doble que la edición en inglés, por eso compré este volumen. Me ha gustado ya que como ingeniero conozco la física clásica, pero algunos aspectos de física 'moderna' (aunque no lo sea tanto por fechas) los desconozco y por culturilla merece leerse los libros de esta colección.

Physik ohne Formeln
Finden sich noch im Buch zur Mathematik aus derselben Serie einige Formeln, muss man Sie in diesem Buch suchen und wird sehr selten fündig. Dafür ist umso mehr Platz für die Erklärung der Konzepte und Theorien. So entsteht aus dem Buch ein kurzweiliger Überblick über die Physik - unterhaltsam und informativ.
