Just as all matter is reducible to the atoms that compose it, every activity—from the commonplace to the extraordinary—can be explained by a physical concept. This enlightening series details every aspect of the field of physics and elucidates not only what we perceive but how we perceive. From the most fundamental components of the atom to the intricate concepts of quantum mechanics, readers will learn about the mechanical, quantitative, and theoretical elements of a subject that has long helped solve some of the most profound unknowns of the universe. • Annotated diagrams illustrate key processes • Comprehensive coverage of both basic and complex ideas • Accessible to all interest levels
