The Physical Universe, 18th Edition, presents core principles of physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy in an accessible format. The textbook illustrates how scientists investigate problems, how scientific fields operate, and why scientific understanding continually evolves.
Designed for nonscientists, the text highlights concepts that clarify how the universe works and how scientific principles connect to everyday life. Broad subject areas include energy systems, atomic structure, planetary processes, and the solar system.
The volume continues its focus on helping students become well-informed citizens. Digital resources through McGraw Hill Connect provide supplementary study tools, including SmartBook 2.0 and STEM Prep Modules.
