4.0 out of 5 starsGood content, poor presentation
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 9 June 2021
The author writes reasonably well, the examples are good, and humor is interjected where possible. The content will interest readers with an average knowledge and understanding of physics. The book has an index. A large minus point is that the chapters are long and are not broken into sections by side headings. And, there are no pictures or diagrams. So, readers are faced with pages upon pages of unbroken text. This could discourage readers from starting the book.

2.0 out of 5 starsDid not really connect with
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 29 May 2022
This book could have been better. Three things which this book lack are:
1. Illustrations, which is an absolute must for this book in particular.
2. The writing style is too colloquial, not much effort went into trying to explain things.
3. Structure: There are no subtopics. The content is very loosely held.
Overall, I won't suggest it. The author knows her stuff and is extremely enthusiastic over what she is doing, but a great scientist doesn't equal a great writer.

Nice simplified book for those who are curious in understanding how things work. I think for school kids this book will generate curiosity and push them to learn more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for all - Physics Lovers AND Haters
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 14 September 2017

Don't judge a book by its cover. But with this book you just can't help being inquisitive after seeing its one of a kind cover illustration. This book is the key to igniting the spark of curiosity and pure love for physics in you. From the buzzing of bees to the working of mobile signals, this book has it all covered. What makes it so interesting is that it tells us so many facts and reasons about the things that go around us unnoticed. Have you ever wondered why does rain fall in drops ? Have you ever thought why doesn't a snail fall off the wall or roof? Don't stay in ignorance. See the storm in your own teacup after reading this marvellous book.

Brilliantly quirky and an amazing adventure through physics. The whole approach of explaining physics through everyday observations is a fun way to learn as you read through this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding narration
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 15 January 2020
Verified Purchase
This book is narrated superbly and covers almost all major topics covered in physics taken by science students by their 12th grade. This should be considered as a motivational book for students with interest in science and physics in particular. Would have been nice to see few diagrams and photos in such a book.

It is all about the Fundamental Laws of Physics in the day-to-day activities. Making Waves: From Water to Wifi is the best compilation.
