This is the first volume (512 pages) of the Motion Mountain physics text, written to be surprising and challenging on every page. It provides a simple, modern and vivid introduction to the motion of objects, of liquids and of heat.
The text, printed in black and white, is written in an easy style, uses little mathematics, and is accessible to undergraduates, teachers and anybody who is interested in the precise description of nature.
The colour pdf, with all the embedded films, can be downloaded for free at the www.motionmountain.net website.
Enjoy the reading!
