Description
Most young people only study physics through practical applications, such as equations, experiments and observations. This title, contrarily, brings physics to life and engages readers in a way that they've never experienced before. Readers will learn about the evolution of physics, from prehistory to the 21st century, including Newton and Einstein. Along the way, they gain a firm understanding of the laws of the universe, including the subatomic particle and the most vast galaxies.
