Simply Physics

Physics is the most fundamental of the natural sciences — the discipline that attempts to describe the basic structure of matter and the fundamental forces that govern how it behaves, from the smallest particles inside the atomic nucleus to the largest structures in the observable universe. DK’s Simply Physics presents the core concepts — mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, quantum theory, relativity, and cosmology — in the clear, visual, progressive format that makes DK’s Simply series the most effective popular science education available.

Each concept is explained with diagrams that make abstract ideas immediately comprehensible, and the historical context of each discovery — the experiments, the moments of insight, the paradigm shifts — grounds physics in the human story of its development.

The ideal introduction to physics for complete beginners and a genuinely useful review for anyone who studied the subject and wants to refresh their understanding. Published by DK.
