Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Readable School Physics
Almost since man appeared upon the earth, he has been asking Why? His curiosity has been aroused by all the various events that occur in nature, and he has been seeking the reasons for them. Gradually, very Slowly at first, by investigation and experiment, he has built up a vast amount Of knowledge, so vast that now no one mind can possibly contain it all. It has been a very long pro cess, and it is still going on - every year men are finding out something they did not know before. Now all those facts that have been brought together, studied carefully, and organised are what we call science. Seeing that it has taken thousands and thousands Of years to find out all that is now known about the world and the whole universe, you who are just beginning to study the subject cannot hope to learn all about it in the few years you spend at school, but you will find out some fundamental principles that are the basis of all science, and you will then be able to take an intelligent interest in what goes on around you, and be in a position to find out more for yourselves.
