Because of the scope of these sciences and because we assume minimal preparation on the part of the reader, our choice of topics and how far to develop them had to be limited. The emphasis throughout is on the basic concepts of each discipline. We also try to show how scientists approach problems and why science is a never-ending quest rather than a fixed set of facts. The book concentrates on those aspects of the physical sciences most relevant to a non-scientist who wants to understand how the universe works and to know something about the connections between science and everyday life"-- Provided by publisher Physical sciences Beiser, Arthur, author.
