Product Description Surveys the history of discoveries in physics from the theories of Aristotle to recent developments, emphasizing the contributions of Isaac Newton. From School Library Journal Grade 7 Up Another subtitle for this book could be Physics for the Astronomer,'' as Newton's contribution to physics rests on the work of Aristotle, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Rene Descartes. The Stwertkas cover the influence of these men on Newton, as well as how Newtonian physics influenced the work of Albert Einstein. In the field of optics (light), Newton and his contemporaries made significant contributions culminating in the work of Mazwell. They explain how many classical theories are being modified to fit modern experimental observations, and conclude with the message that discoveries in astrophysics are still to be made, making young readers understand that there are frontiers of exploration for upcoming generations. The print and the format are attractive, and the black line drawings make the text clearer. However, the blackandwhite photographs add little to the text. The text is well written and makes a difficult subject clearer to novices in this area. In today's spaceoriented world, this book will find an audience among the young teen set. Margaret M.
