This is a book on physics, written by Br. Guy Consolmagno, an astronomer with the Vatican Observatory, and published by the Vatican Observatory. It includes chapters on Light, Electricity and Magnetism, the Photon, Particles, and Relativity. It is written for the layperson, explaining modern physics using examples familiar to anyone who has been part of a typical parish. Br. Guy writes, “Science is too important to our lives to ignore. It’s too much fun to leave to the atheists. And it’s too Good not to be used as a way of getting to know the Lord Who Created Heaven and Earth; Who can be found, with His first creation, at home in the Dwelling of Light.”
