5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding Physics can be Joyful!, January 31, 2008
This review is from: The Joy of Physics (Hardcover)
Art Wiggins' ability to explain complex physics in a way that everyone can understand it is uncanny. Not only does he explain it well, he gives the reader great insight into the early researchers' thoughts, and the reasons they were pursuing the problem in the first place. Then he gives the reader some simple experiments they can do (using household items, or easily obtainable objects) to prove the concept or experience the phenomenon. He truly does bring physics into your home so that the reader can understand it and, more importantly, help them and their kids do their science projects. I recommend this book for anyone, and everyone, who has always thought that physics was just for nerds or smart folks, but wished they could understand science and physics better.
