520    Explore the laws and theories of physics in this 
       accessible introduction to the forces that shape our 
       Universe, our planet, and our everyday lives. Using a bold,
       graphic-led approach The Physics Book sets out more than 
       80 key concepts and discoveries that have defined the 
       subject and influenced our technology since the beginning 
       of time. With the focus firmly on unpicking the thought 
       behind each theory - as well as exploring when and how 
       each idea and breakthrough came about - seven themed 
       chapters examine the history and developments in areas 
       such as Energy and Matter, and Electricity and Magnetism, 
       as well as quantum, nuclear, and particle physics. Eureka 
       moments abound: from Pythagoras's observations of the 
       pleasing harmonies created by vibrating strings, and 
       Galileo's experiments with spheres, to Isaac Newton's 
       apple and his conclusions about gravity and the laws of 
       motion. You'll also learn about Albert Einstein's 
       revelations about relativity; how the accidental discovery
       of cosmic microwave background radiation confirmed the Big
       Bang theory; the search for the Higgs boson particle; and 
       why most of our Universe is missing. If you've ever 
       wondered exactly how physicists formulated - and proved - 
       their abstract concepts, The Physics Book is the book for 
       you.
