Lewis Carroll Epstein explains deep ideas in physics in an easy-to-understand way. Thinking Physics is a perfect beginner's guide to an amazingly wide range of physics-related questions. The book targets topics that science teachers and students spend time wondering about, like wing lift. Epstein elucidates the familiar but misunderstood - such as how tides work - along with more obscure but fascinating phenomena like the 'Bernoulli sub' and the 'artificial aurora' created by hydrogen bombs. Please Note that this book contains some questionable examples that parents may wish to skip. |
