Synopsis
Nobel laureate Lederman (mathematics and science, Illinois Institute of Technology) and Hill (theoretical physics, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory) use the notion of symmetry to introduce both Galilean-Newtonian physics and modern thinking about nature and the avant-garde, Einstein's relativity, and the unification of all forces. They write for general readers, but also with a hope to improve high school physics courses. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
