Physics: An Illustrated History of the Foundations of Science (100 Ponderables) Revised and Updated (Ponderables: 100 Breakthroughs That Changed History, Who Did What When) Hardcover – October 9, 2017

It is really great book about physics from ancient times up to now. Beautiful pictures, great explanations. Its not a text book for school. But I wish I could have such book in Basic school or starting University and having physics as well. On top of dry material I had to go through and was discouraged. It makes you interested. I would say good broad intro into physics.

This was a Christmas gift for my 14 year old son who loves science. He finished it in about 10 days. He absolutely loved it. I think the pictures are beautiful.

Well suited for high school students.As a retired university engineering faculty member, I also found it quite interesting.I recommend it.

Building up a motivational library for my daughter. Enjoyed the books so much, I bought the entire series after initial purchase of The Elements. Perfectly illustrated and short enough for those with developing attention spans. Subjective further study may be called for at a later stage, but this is a great way to foster the will to do so.... Love it, sincerely...

There is all the history of physics in this high quality full color book, and also a foldout timeline, all illustrated! At the end of the book there is a section of the physics basic concepts, making this book complete for any student.

I have 4 by this author, all excellent for browsing and referenceExcellent historic view of Physics and the associateddiscoveries.

Very cool book, lots of awesome stuff in it. Very enjoyable for some casual browsing.

It is not what I expect.
