Bibliographic details
Summary
While the language of mathematics can describe physical reality in complex detail, the art of drawing can delineate with simple clarity. Aimed at the less mathematically inclined, this history of physics uses 51 seminal illustrations from 26 centuries of physics to tell, in chronological order, the stories of great scientific discoveries, from the phases of the moon and size of the Earth to the discovery of the neutron and the Higgs Boson particle.
