It's written for students who seek a connection between science and the world in which they live.
How Things Work brings science to the reader rather than the reverse.
Like the course in which it developed, this book has always been for nonscientists and is written with their interests in mind.
Nonetheless, it has attracted students from the sciences, engineering, architecture, and other technical fields who wish to put scientific concepts into context.
This book is written in English and organized in a case-study fashion.
It conveys an understanding and appreciation for physics by finding physics concepts and principles within the familiar objects of everyday experience.
