WHY is physics so worthwhile? For Arthur Wiggins, it is because it combines a quest to understand the universe, and the satisfaction of connecting ideas with reality through hands-on experiments, and the fascinating lives of physicists. Weaving all three together in this book makes for an entertaining, informative romp through electromagnetism and light, dynamics, quantum mechanics and the big bang. Wiggins, a physics professor, does not shy away from equations, so the book is best suited to adults who enjoyed the subject in their schooldays and want to rediscover its pleasures.
