Reviews
Using straightforward and solid text, these entries in the Introduction to Physics series offer encyclopedia-like overviews of commonly studied topics in physical-science and physics classrooms. Sound describes how sound is produced, carried, and processed and features a chapter on acoustical engineers’ applications in the life sciences, earth sciences, architecture, and the arts. Complemented by numerous color photographs, charts, and graphs, each book introduces key scientists, from Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton to Max Planck and Enrico Fermi, and their discoveries in these fields of study. Sidebars connect the physics fundamentals to such life-changing technology as ultrasounds, X-rays, and nuclear weapons. A concluding glossary, list of related institutions, and bibliography add to the research value. Grades 7-10. --Leeper, Angela
