商品描述
Activity Book From amusement park rides to critical environmental issues such as energy generation-physics affects almost every aspect of our world. In PHYSICS MATTERS, James Trefil and Robert Hazen examine the fundamental physics principles at work behind the many practical applications that fuel our society and individual lives. Their goal is to promote a deeper understanding of how the great ideas of physics connect to form a much larger understanding of the universe in which we live.
Highlights:
- Helps readers build a general knowledge of key ideas in physics and their connection to technology and other areas of science.
- Promotes an appreciation of what science is, how scientific knowledge is developed, and how it differs from other intellectual activities.
- Examines modern technologies, including GPS, the Internet, and information technologies, as well as medical technologies, such as MRI, PET scans, CAT scans, and radioisotope tracers.
- Explores key issues facing the world today, such as global warning, nuclear waste, and government funding for research.

活動書籍 從遊樂園的遊樂設施到能源生成等關鍵環境議題，物理學影響著我們世界的幾乎每一個方面。在《物理學的重要性》中，詹姆斯·特雷菲爾（James Trefil）和羅伯特·哈岑（Robert Hazen）探討了在推動我們社會和個人生活的眾多實際應用背後運作的基本物理原則。他們的目標是促進對物理學偉大思想如何相互連結，從而形成對我們所生活的宇宙更大理解的深入認識。
重點：
- 幫助讀者建立對物理學關鍵思想及其與技術和其他科學領域之間聯繫的一般知識。
- 促進對科學本質的欣賞，了解科學知識是如何發展的，以及它與其他智力活動的不同之處。
- 檢視現代技術，包括GPS、互聯網和信息技術，以及醫療技術，如MRI、PET掃描、CAT掃描和放射性同位素示蹤劑。
- 探討當今世界面臨的關鍵議題，如全球暖化、核廢料和政府對研究的資助。
作者簡介
James S. Trefil (born September 10, 1938) is an American physicist (Ph.D. in Physics at Stanford University in 1966) and author of more than thirty books. Much of his published work focuses on science for the general audience. Dr. Trefil has previously served as Professor of Physics at the University of Virginia and he now teaches as Robinson Professor of Physics at George Mason University. Among Trefil's books is Are We Unique?, an argument for human uniqueness in which he questions the comparisons between human intelligence and artificial intelligence. Trefil also regularly gives presentations to judges and public officials about the intersections between science and the law.
