The New Physics in Everyday Life (Science and the Search for New Facts and Corresponding Implications and Applications)

Science is ever searching for new facts and their corresponding implications and applications. Some implications at first may not seem to fit into the prevalent "picture of things", but the search for scientific truth is a fascinating task about which every student should know. In this 1935 edition of The New Physics In Everyday Life there has been added at the end of the book a summary of the "Recent Investigation as to Atomic Structure and Radiations". This edition still retains characteristic features which have made this book an outstanding text: 1) Historical method of approach to major subjects. 2) Familiar phenomena and fundamental principles. Starting with familiar phenomena lying within the experience of the student, there follows a discussion of the fundamental principles involved. 3) Abundant illustrative and explanatory exercises designed to clarify and interpret the laws and principles involved. 4) Practical applications. An unusually large number of practical applications are cited and explained.
