Eureka! We have it and so can you a discovery-packed book that makes the world of physics understandable, engaging, and fun! And that s a very good thing, because physics is all around us, responsible for everything from why balls bounce to why the stars in the sky shine so we might as well understand and enjoy it. Chock-full of photos and diagrams, this book and its useful images further explain and expand upon the clear and informative text. (Oh, and as for who reportedly shouted Eureka! while sitting in his wooden bathtub, see page 7 of this engaging volume.)
