Customer Reviews

physics finally in understandable terms!

I really loved this book! As with most everything in science - you can explain all day long the "what it is" but never the "how and why it is". With anything involving PHYSICS someone can explain the "whats", but it's so complicated that there is no comprehension of the "what" much less try to discover the "how and why". Layman's terms are fantastic. Zee really does a great job in making it interesting and fun!
