Synopsis
This book introduces concepts of physics as a phenomenon of matter, which is defined as that which occupies space. It defines energy as the condition of matter by which it can make changes in other matter, and establishes that both matter and energy are indestructible by human agency. The text explores energy transformations and their effects, including heat, motion, light, sound, electricity, and magnetism. Most chapters start with an abstract discussion of concepts, then apply those concepts to practical examples, such as the principles used in tuning forks or the production of heat from burning wood. The author's aim is to help students understand physical phenomena not only by providing facts and principles, but also by assisting instructors to present these in a way that leads to high-level attainment. The book's insights on energy as a fundamental concept in the universe make it an important tool for expanding the understanding of physics.
