Gr 7 Up-Sonneborn covers gravitational force, electromagnetic force, electromagnetism at work, and strong and weak forces. The writing is clear and easy to read. A final chapter discusses the unification of forces. Viegas begins by explaining kinetic and potential energy and the history of their discoveries. Mechanical energy, momentum, and the laws of energy are also presented. Willett introduces readers to the nature of light and of the atom. The ultraviolet catastrophe, the photoelectric effect, and line spectra are also addressed. These titles provide basic introductions to their respective topics and are especially useful for reluctant readers or those new to the topics. The layouts are open and appealing and include well-captioned photographs and simple diagrams.-Maren Ostergard, Bellevue Regional Library, WA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Using relevant diagrams and pictures to illustrate concepts discussed, this is a straightforward introduction to quantum physics, focusing on the nature of light and the atom. Written for the student who may have difficulty understanding physics concepts in basic textbooks, the book describes current theories and concepts, explaining how physicist Niels Bohr took the ideas of Max Planck and Albert Einstein and applied them to the model of the atom, changing our understanding of the basic building block of the physical world.
