Description of  The Beauty of Physics: Patterns, Principles, and Perspectives

This is a book about ideas, patterns, and broad unifying themes in physics. Through the author's perspective, based on decades in teaching and research, it provides a view of how physicists understand the physical world around us. Eight broad themes are grouped into chapters that start with simple examples accessible to non-physics readers. Each chapter then proceeds to further and deeper sophistication, these more advanced topics also connected to the openingillustrations on the basis of the same patterns and principles. Together they provide a unified view of the subject to supplement what students learn in undergraduate and graduate courses.
