Knowledge and Wonder, Second Edition: The Natural World as Man Knows It - Paperback
by Victor F. Weisskopf (Author)
More than 100,000 copies of the first edition of Knowledge and Wonder have been sold, both in the U.S. and abroad. Written expressly for the general reader and beginning science student, the book describes our present scientific understanding of natural phenomena and the universality of that understanding and its human significance.
In this new edition the chapter on chemistry has been largely rewritten and a great deal of new material has been added to the chapter on life. Also, the section on subnuclear phenomena has been brought up to date.
Victor F. Weisskopf was Institute Professor Emeritus and Professor of Physics Emeritus at MIT.
