Critics Review
“As someone who avoids physics (especially waves and light) this book was an excellent find. Dr Aidan Randle-Conde takes you on an exciting adventure to explore key concepts in physics in an easy-to-understand, friendly manner using lots of brightly coloured diagrams and mini explanations. The book is also organised in an approachable way that makes it very easy to find information.” – Renee Rees * Teaching Science 76(4) *
