Physics, the Human Adventure: From Copernicus to Einstein and Beyond

Physics, the Human Adventure: From Copernicus to Einstein and Beyond

Editorial Reviews
-Sheldon L. Glashow, Nobel laureate, Boston University
"Read Holton and Brush to see that there is just one culture, with science playing an integral role."

From the Back Cover
Physics, the Human Adventure is the third edition of the classic text Introduction to Concepts and Theories in Physical Science. Both earlier editions were landmark titles in science education as the first to make full and effective use of the history and philosophy of science in presenting for both the general and the science-oriented student an account of the content and nature of physical science.

In this third edition, each of the chapters has been reworked to further clarify the physics concepts and to incorporate recent physical advances and research. The book shows the unifying power of science by bringing in connections to chemistry, astronomy, and geoscience. In short, the aim of the new edition is to teach good physics while presenting physical science as a human adventure that has become a major force in our civilization.
