The book begins with fundamental questions about the origin of the Sun, Moon and stars. The authors guide us through the history of describing the astronomical environment with physical equations to modern observations of distant corners of the cosmos thanks to huge telescopes. We will learn how to search for planets outside the solar system, study the life cycle of stars and predict the future of the Milky Way and the entire universe. The chapter "Astronomy and Astrophysics" is a real treasure trove of knowledge about the cosmos.

What connects a magnet, a cat's fur electrified with charge and light? It turns out that much more than one might think at first glance. Light, charges and magnetism are closely related. Thanks to the theory of electromagnetism and optics, we can understand how radio waves are received by an antenna, how lightning is formed in storm clouds and why we observe a mirage in a hot desert. The chapter "Electromagnetism and Light" discusses these fascinating phenomena in detail.

Why does an airplane fly? How does a lotus leaf self-clean? Why does time only flow in one direction? The answers to these questions lie in classical and statistical mechanics. The chapter "Mechanics and Thermodynamics" is devoted to these issues, explaining the principles that govern our daily lives. We will learn how the basic laws of physics work and how they affect the world around us. This book is an ideal offer for all those who want to understand how the universe works and what laws govern it. The PWN Scientific Publishing House guarantees high quality content and reliability of information. This book is an excellent way to expand your knowledge and understand the fascinating world of physics.
