Synopsis
The great transition from Newtonian physics to the physics of today forms one of the most important chapters in the annals of scientific progress. Climaxing with Planck's and Einstein's landmark contributions, this immense expansion of knowledge is examined and explained by an author unsurpassed in writing for the nonexpert. In "Light, Magnetism, and Electricity", Isaac Asimov succeeds in making superbly clear the essential foundation of understanding the science that plays so paramount a role in shaping our world. The two companion volumes to Isaac Asimov's "Light, Magnetism, and Electricity" - "Motion, Sound, and Heat" and "The Electron, Proton, and Neutron" - are also available in Signet Science editions. Each book can be enjoyed independently. Together they form a major contribution by an author acclaimed by the "Saturday Review" as "one of the few scientists who has the gift of being able to simplify the complex," and by the "Los Angeles Times" as "the type of writer needed in our time. ... [His books] bridge the gap between scientists and non-scientists".
