About this title

Synopsis

Originally published in 1995, this volume comprises two collections of instructive essays on physics. Written for a general audience and keeping both technical language and mathematics to a minimum, the first collection introduces the basics of physics, atoms, energy, gravitation, quantum force, and the relationship of physics to other subjects. The second collection covers the major points in Einstein's theory of relativity. Feynman (1918-1988) won the 1965 Nobel Prize for his work in quantum electrodynamics. Annotation c.
