| Summary |
Discusses the physical principles of light, its functions in the natural world, and its integration with modern technology. This innovative and richly illustrated set is designed expressly to stimulate young minds through an integrated approach to science. Designs in Science explains concepts in the physical sciences by linking them to principles in the biological sciences, thus highlighting the similarities between designs in modern technology and designs in the natural world. The physical principles of light and its functions in the natural world are featured in this illuminating volume. More advanced uses in the technology of the modern world, such as the rapidly developing field of lasers, are also included. |
