Are there any good books on physics popularization?
Hello, here are some meaningful books: The first one is Physical Concepts and Cultural Literacy, which can benefit any college student. This book is a physics general education textbook for American liberal arts students. With profound skill, the author avoided the appearance of formulas in the book and made clear the conceptual problems in physics until quantum field theory and standard model. (Corresponding to this book, there is a book "Theoretical Concepts in Physics", which is a popular science for scientific researchers and needs a certain foundation. )

The second book belongs to Miss Zhao. As an expert of physicists, "dimensional analysis" allows scientists to calculate the equivalent of a nuclear explosion by reading newspapers, and Enrico Fermi can also calculate it with a handful of scraps of paper on the spot. It's amazing. Is it? Also, why can't animals on land grow to infinity? Why do giants not exist? This book is also full of eloquence, which makes people fondle it.

The third book is one of a series of popular science books. All the books are good, but I haven't finished reading them. The author of this book has been engaged in related research all the year round, lifting weights easily.

This set of books has both history and science, and it is a rare good book to understand physics for a hundred years. One of the editors, Abraham Pais, is also a theoretical physicist. He is a part-time writer and his biographies of scientists are well worth reading.
