Breakthroughs Synopsis

Breakthroughs: Outstanding Physicists, Their Lives and Accomplishments describes the achievements of physicists, both greater and lesser known, who have made outstanding breakthroughs during their lives. Each chapter focuses on a single physicist and follows their careers, significant life events, and discoveries.

The book is written at an accessible level with simple mathematics, which appears in optional appendices. Our target audience comprises those who have not studied physics but are interested in both the lives and accomplishments of great physicists. This includes non-science university students, as well as the general public.

Key Features:

  • Focuses on physicists who have made ground-breaking discoveries.
  • Women comprise half of the subjects.
  • Ideal for students and general readers who are comfortable with simple mathematics.
