More About This Book

Overview

FOR MORE THAN FORTY YEARS as a beloved professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Walter Lewin honed his singular craft of making physics not only accessible but truly fun. Now Lewin takes readers on a marvelous journey in For the Love of Physics, opening our eyes as never before to the amazing beauty and power with which physics can reveal the hidden workings of the world around us.

Whether introducing why the air smells so fresh after a lightning storm, or what the big bang would have sounded like, Lewin never ceases to surprise and delight with the extraordinary ability of physics to answer even the most elusive questions. “For me,” Lewin writes, “physics is a way of seeing—the spectacular and the mundane, the immense and the minute—as a beautiful, thrillingly interwoven whole.” His wonderfully inventive and vivid ways of introducing us to the revelations of physics impart to us a new appreciation of the remarkable beauty and intricate harmonies of the forces that govern our lives.

    Highly Recommended by My Son

    I bought this book for my son, who is a freshman in college majoring in aerospace engineering. He has enjoyed reading it and has shared parts of it with his younger brothers.

    He Loves Physics, all right

    Walter Lewin does not start out with the science; rather, with a personal history that is far from the science itself. If not interested, pass on to later chapters and get answers to questions most everyone has wondered about at one time or another. Read slowly, though. Prof. Lewin assumes the reader knows at least something.
