Why It Is So is Julius Sumner Miller's passionate and irreverent invitation into the wonders of physics, channelling the legendary professor's lifelong obsession with the fundamental laws that govern the universe. Drawing on decades of teaching and broadcasting, Miller presents complex scientific principles — from mechanics and energy to electromagnetism and waves — with the infectious enthusiasm and theatrical flair that made him one of the most beloved science communicators of the twentieth century.\n\nWritten in Miller's inimitable voice, the book argues that curiosity is the engine of all great science, and that the questions children ask are often the most profound. His prose crackles with rhetorical challenge and wit, demanding that readers not merely accept the world as it appears, but interrogate it relentlessly. Whether you are a seasoned scientist or an armchair philosopher, Why It Is So leaves you with one burning question: what else have you been taking for granted?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203122340059,"sku":"2026200014558-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/989e3b39-150b-4219-b73e-a0fc6c0fb7b4.png?v=1788144606","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014558-secondhand-why-it-is-so","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
