      Each superficial volume surveys the development of a physics theory, with emphasis on basic definitions of concepts. Prominent pioneers Newton and Einstein (�cf2]Gravity�cf1]) and Franklin and Edison (�cf2]Electricity�cf1]) are introduced, along with overused examples of their famous experiments (e.g., Newton and the apple; Franklin and the kite). Historical and modern photographs are more decorative than illustrative. A quiz is appended. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
