5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant physics book!, 17 Jul 2006
By Anna Gaskin - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once again, Dorling Kindersley have produced a truly brilliant book. It's aimed at children, but I (aged 34!) found it fantastic. I wish something like this was available when I was doing exams then my F would have looked more like A. Richard Hammond makes the whole topic really interesting and readable. It's a book I had bought on recommendation by a friend who actually teaches physics and wanted to prove to me that physics wasn't just about Newton blah blah etc. This book is not just for kids who are interested in physics, I'm sure anyone would love this.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to engage children with physics, 20 Oct 2007
By P. M. Fernandez "exilefromgroggs" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Physics has a poor reputation amongst the sciences - which is a shame, as if you get to grips with physics, it opens up all sorts of areas of knowledge.

Richard Hammond, with the enthusiasm so familiar from "Top Gear" and (more relevantly, in this case) "Brainiac", brings alive a wide range of aspects of physics in this book. In the first part, he provides a brief history of the development of the science. HISTORY? In a children's book? Well, I suppose everybody is doing it these days - but kudos for introducing the history of science to youngsters.

In the following parts, he looks at forces, matter and light (i.e. radiation, in effect). The text is in paragraph chunks - so should be engaging even for children who are used to instant entertainment - and the pages are visually rich and humorous.

Lots of the book is built around the sort of questions that are the bane of the average parent's life - "How do planes stay in the air?" "Why do balloons stick to the wall?" The science that is presented is accurate, and consistent with what children are likely to be taught in school. The book even introduces some of the mysteries of relativity - wow!

To present science accurately and interestingly is a real challenge, and this book has done an excellent job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, 18 Jul 2006
By T. Lee (Lacaster UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Physics at school was mainly Mr Salter droning on about Brownian motion and how to calculate momentum in 127 easy steps - hence I took little or no notice. In fear of my nephew having to endure a similar introduction to the subject, I bought him this book and he absolutely loves it, as do I! Mr Hammond should receive the Nobel Prize for this lucid and entertaining introduction. We salute you Sir!
