When liberated from its mathematical underpinnings, physics suddenly becomes accessible to anyone with the curiosity and imagination to explore its beauty. Science without math? It's not that unusual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor example, we can understand the concept of gravity without solving a single equation. So for all those who may have pondered what makes blueberries blue and strawberries red; for those who have wondered if sound really travels in waves; and why light behaves so differently from any other phenomenon in the universe, it's all a matter of quantum physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores in considerable depth scientific concepts using examples from everyday life, such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eparticles of light, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprobability, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estates of matter, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhat makes greenhouse gases bad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eChallenging without being intimidating, accessible but not condescending, \u003cem\u003eAbsolutely Small\u003c\/em\u003e develops your intuition for the very nature of things at their most basic and intriguing levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMICHAEL D.
