Description
Book Introduction
A never-before-seen science book for visual learners
A visual dictionary that provides a simple and clear picture of scientific concepts at a glance.
In this age of technology and science, the "Physics" edition of the basic science series will take charge of your scientific literacy.
Professor Kwak Jae-sik recommends, “Just looking at the paintings fills the gaps in your knowledge.”


Science is the basic knowledge of our generation.
Every day, new technologies based on science are introduced, and everyone, knowingly or unknowingly, adapts to these technologies and lives with them.
This is why scientific literacy is more important than ever.
Even the hottest news and emerging investment information can be difficult to properly understand without a scientific background.
But science has the impression of being difficult and complicated.
Many people who try to understand science well give up because of unfamiliar and difficult terms, concepts, and formulas that are difficult to understand even after reading them.
That's because the way we've approached science so far has been wrong.
It is more effective to study science through pictures than through text.


"Study Physics While You're at It" is the first book in the "Science with Pictures" series, and is a book that uses pictures to explain the basic concepts of the scientific field of physics.
It focused on infographics rather than text.
Thousands of characters are compressed into a single picture, and the author, who has taught physics for a long time and contributed to NASA journals, has carefully selected and organized essential physics concepts, from Newton's laws to quantum mechanics and astrophysics.
This book is more user-friendly, informative, and accurate than any other book, so that even adults who want to understand physics again, or students who still find physics difficult but want to pursue a career in science or engineering, can easily study on their own.
Let's travel through the world of physics by following the pictures and arrows.
As Professor Kwak Jae-sik said, you will have the 'thrilling experience' of realizing concepts you didn't know exactly what they meant while casually looking at the paintings.

Into the book
Physics is a unified science that defines and grounds everything around us.
Everywhere, clear laws of physics explain how the world we live in, the tiny world made of atoms, and the vast world called the universe move.
---From the "first sentence"

The common trait that unites all great physicists is curiosity.
“What happened?” is a question that permeates the scientific community.
And the more facts you learn, the more questions you have.
If you too share this curiosity, "Study Physics While You're at It" will be a valuable guide to help you understand the fundamental laws and concepts.
These concepts are often complex, so a visual learning approach that presents them clearly and concisely in writing, with detailed illustrations and diagrams, is effective.
This book covers a wide range of topics taught in physics classes and will serve as a solid guide for exploring the material in greater depth.
--- p.8

Everything in the universe is governed by the laws of physics.
Physicists understand these laws and use them to predict phenomena based on various quantities such as energy, momentum, and charge.
One unbreakable law in physics is that within a closed system, certain quantities remain unchanged or conserved.
For example, there is a certain amount of energy in the universe.
Energy can be transformed into other forms of energy, but it is never created or destroyed.
--- p.52

Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that studies the transfer of heat energy within a system through mechanical work, radiation, conduction, and other means.
All particles in a system have kinetic energy, which is a function of their vibrational motion (in solids) or velocity (in liquids or gases).
Atoms in a solid vibrate around a point, transferring energy to neighboring particles.
In contrast, particles in liquids and gases can move freely.
Energy moves within the system through this heat transfer.
--- p.130

Physics is the study of the fundamental physical laws that govern the universe.
On a macroscopic scale, forces accelerate objects and fluids flow from one place to another.
But there are also areas that boggle our minds, such as the behavior of particles (atomic and subatomic) at the quantum level or the motion of particles moving at close to the speed of light.
Newton developed his laws of motion based on the motion of objects in everyday life.
However, when objects are very small or very fast, these rules can be broken and need improvement.

Publisher's Review
Because the world is full of science,
If we're going to do this, let's become people who know science.

Every day, new technologies based on science are introduced, and everyone, knowingly or unknowingly, adapts to these technologies and lives with them.
This is why scientific literacy is more important than ever.
Even the hottest news and emerging investment information are difficult to properly understand without a scientific background.
Just having a basic scientific knowledge will completely change your perspective on the world.
Knowing science allows you to accurately identify and anticipate what you need in life, reduce unnecessary mistakes, and live more proactively and efficiently.

But haven't you ever tried to study science only to give up because of unfamiliar terminology, concepts, and formulas that were difficult to understand? It's because you've missed out on fundamental concepts, leaving gaps in your knowledge.
Only by having a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of science can you understand and apply new discoveries or new materials introduced in Nature or Science to your own life.
"Study Physics While You're at It" contains all the basic information and tools you need to explore the world of physics.
All it takes is a little curiosity and the thought, “Since I’m born, why not learn about physics?”


Because science must be studied through pictures!
Mind maps, flowcharts, and high-quality infographics
A brand new science book for visual learners

Do you ever organize your learning by taking notes or drawing pictures in your head? More than half of the population are visual learners, learning more effectively from visual aids like diagrams, pictures, and videos than from text or audio.
It is said that many people who excel in science and engineering fields are visual learners.

'Science with Pictures' is a series developed by Barron's, a renowned American educational book company, to enable 'visual learners' of all ages to study science on their own.
It features refreshing illustrations and clear explanations from expert professors.
Just by focusing on pictures instead of text, learning efficiency is noticeably improved.
Because dozens of lines of text are compressed into a single image, understanding the concept becomes faster, and because the screen is stored in the mind like taking a screenshot, it is not easily forgotten.


This series is known to be particularly suitable for adults who have trouble concentrating, or for teenagers who have a good understanding but find it difficult to study seriously.
First of all, it contains only the most important scientific information among numerous scientific data, and it is designed to naturally draw attention to the core with refreshing infographics.
The examples are familiar from everyday life, and the explanations are short, friendly, and clear.


『Study Physics While You're at It』 is a book from the 'Science Through Pictures' series about physics, the immutable laws that govern the world.
The author, who has taught physics for a long time and contributed to NASA journals, has carefully selected and organized essential physics concepts, from Newton's laws to quantum mechanics and astrophysics.


From elementary school students to adults,
So that everyone can enjoy science

"Study Physics While You're at It" is a book for everyone who loves physics and wants to become familiar with it.
From elementary school students who are just learning about the field of 'physics', to middle and high school students who want to study physics systematically, to students who chose physics with the dream of going to a science and engineering university, to people who did not like physics in school but have become interested in it again as adults, physics is explained using simple and intuitive expressions and everyday materials such as baseball and elevators so that anyone can easily understand.


We selected major topics such as force, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics, and modern physics, and organized the core concepts for each topic into 1-4 pages.
No matter which page you open, the world of physics unfolds in an exciting way.
At the end of each chapter, the content covered in that chapter is summarized in the form of a mind map.
It guides you through the relationship between individual concepts and terms and helps you draw the big picture of 'physics'.

It's a good book to read from the beginning, but it's also a good book to keep on a corner of your desk and look up related topics whenever you watch science documentaries or YouTube videos, or whenever news about new technologies comes out.
Just looking at the paintings without the burden of studying provides a sense of intellectual stimulation.
Let's travel the world of science through pictures with "Study Physics While You're at It".
