Book Overview: 'This book provides a wealth of useful information to help this wide diversity of student material to rationalise the various components of the courses they are taking, to put them into context of the knowledge and skills bases necessary for an understanding of the subject, and to maximise the benefits of their educational experiences...One of the pleasures of the book is the way that the author draws on such a wide range of examples, using the history (both ancient and recent) of the development of scientific methods and theories as well as modern examples... I would recommend this book to any physics undergraduate, but particularly to those just embarking on their degree courses.' - Dick Bacon, Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Journal of the LTSN Physical Sciences Subject Centre
