Synopsis

How can we detect aliens? How far away is a star? How old is a fossil? How can we build an early-warning system for supernovae? More importantly, how would we even attempt to answer those questions?

Physics is fascinating. It provides answers to many questions like the ones above. It is incredibly complicated though. This book covers 26 topics at an easily consumable level and answers a large number of questions while explaining how we know those answers. When it's interesting, a bit of history about the scientists involved is provided. There are also many interesting example problems that relate to the topics and provide a clearer understanding.

If you have any interest in science and are looking for something in between a casual book and a textbook, you will probably enjoy this.
