Synopsis
Aristotle... Galileo... Newton... These are but three of the many seminal figures who loom large in this volume. The drama of their discoveries, and the far-reaching ramifications of those epochal breakthroughs, are placed in focus by a writer unexcelled in rendering science intelligible to the nonexpert. In "Motion, Sound, and Heat" Isaac Asimov charts the vital link between the scientific past and the scientific present, and opens the path to understanding a branch of knowledge so supremely important in today's world. The two companion volumes to Isaac Asimov's "Motion, Sound, and Heat" - "Light, Magnetism, and Electricity" 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."
