Visionary architecture.This book is written for students and other interested readers as a look inside the diverse range of applications for physics outside of the scientific research environment. This first volume covers several different areas of the arts and design ranging from stage lighting to sculpting. The author has interviewed experts in each area to explain how physics and technology impact their work. These are all useful examples of how physics encountered in taught courses relates to the real world.Students at the high school level, interested lay people, undergraduates.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.Sharon Ann Holgate received her doctorate in experimental physics from the University of Sussex and is a Chartered Scientist and Chartered Physicist. She has worked for 18 years as a freelance science writer and broadcaster with credits including BBC World Service and BBC Radio 4. Her articles have appeared in an extensive list of magazines and she is co-author of the children's book The Way Science Works. She was the IOP Young Professional Physicist of the Year in 2006.Title from PDF title page (viewed on March 2, 2017).
