The approach chosen here is the one adopted by Franscico Chinesta for his Ecole Centrale de Nantes course. Although the content is targeted at top-level engineering students, this volume also addresses a non-scientific audience, giving everyone a chance to marvel at scientific research. Chinesta's chronological approach allows readers to understand how the world has gradually revealed its secrets through scientific observation, hypotheses, counterhypotheses and experimentation. Meanwhile a whole range of scientific phenomena is explained, tram why the sky is blue to what is a black hole. e simple language of the volume and titan . to hundreds of illustrations, physics to non the latest available to all.
