The discoveries of twentieth century physics have played a decisive influence in the thinking of modern man. With the
exploration of the atom has come a staggering vision of the complexity of the physical world. At the same time, the
pursuit of such still puzzling factors as the elusive electron, the mysterious muon, and the strange multiplicity of baryons
has given us but a hint of how much is yet to be known. In the concluding volume of his celebrated UNDERSTANDING
PHYSICS, Isaac Asimov brilliantly conveys this vast new knowledge and awesome sense of challenge. Treating the most
advanced ideas with superb clarity, his book is the perfect supplement to the student’s formal textbook, as well as
offering invaluable illumination to the general reader.
