Light enables us to see the world around us. Our sense of sight provides us with direct information about space and time, the physical arrangement of the world, and how it changes. This almost universal shared sensation of vision has led to a fascination with the nature and properties of light across the ages. But the light we see is just a small part of the whole spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays.In this Very Short Introduction Ian Walmsley discusses early attempts to explain light, and the development of apparently opposing particulate and wave theories by scientists such as Isaac Newton and Christiaan Huygens. He shows how light was recognized as an electromagnetic wave in the 19th century, and the development of the quantum mechanics view of wave-particle duality in the 20th century. He also describes the many applications of light, domestic and scientific, such as microwaves, DVDs, and lasers. We now use the whole range of electromagnetic radiation to peer both into the human body and deep into space. Turning to the future of optics, Walmsley concludes by looking at some of the most exciting new developments using quantum light sources in communications and computing.

Powwer, Speed, interchangeable Attachments, but a little too much Speed.
Color: Black
Why not 5 Stars? Something a little silly, but this frother is a little over powered. Not necessarily a bad thing, but for me, I need a slower setting.
Now the good stuff. I purchased a different, really cheapo frother to see if it was useful before I bought a better quality one (more $$). The cheapo one worked fine, mixing drinks, scrambling eggs, frothing milk. However, it was low powered, and thicker items like eggs caused it to burn out. This household agreed a frother was a useful tool and I picked this one. What is 5 stars about it? Three attachments- a spring type frother, a beater, and what looks like a thin dough hook. Interchangeability. Love it. Also, three speeds. Nice to have a choice. Operation? works perfectly. I Like rechargeability. So where is the missing star? It is stuck to the wall with the hot chocolate that sprayed all over. This thing is powerful for what it is. I wanted power. But the power comes at too high a speed. Low speed should be the highest, and 2 more slower speeds would be perfect. So we mix in a larger container to keep the contents in the container and off the wall.
TLDR: Good: Interchangable whisk, rechargeable, 3 speeds, lots of power. Bad: Low speed is not low enough.
If all you are doing is frothing milk in a deep container, this works great. Has the power to scramble eggs, for example. Mixing hot cocoa mix in a nearly filled cup will bring excitement though.

I love it, it works great.
Color: Black
I received the Electric Milk Frother, EW-071, about 2 weeks age and absolutely love it. I don’t froth milk or drink coffee either. What I do, do is for years I have mixed my own mushroom drink, way before all this mushroom coffee fad began. I also mix in other ingredients, collagen, creatine, ginger powder, cinnamon, and a few other items and the coffee frothers do such a poor job of mixing them all up. The EW-071 with the Balloon Wisk does a wonderful job. It is high powered so be careful, if you totally fill the cup expect a mess, think before using this unit it is powerful. I also like the on – off buttons. With the other frothers you have to hold the button, I hate that. I do keep my thumb close to the on - off button but have not had a spill yet.
Good job. Thumbs up.
Robert, Las Vegas.

BUY THIS FROTHER! IT'S THE BEST & THE LOWEST PRICE.
Color: Black
I have had a couple of other frothers, and I really like this one the best! It has ALL the different frothing tools, and it is rechargeable, not needing batteries, which is a plus. Another big plus is that it is very attractive and has the best (lowest) price of all the others. I must have looked at 100 different brands, and this one is amazing. The different speeds are separate buttons, making it much easier than the ones where you have to keep hitting the same button to get to other speeds. My other one was too fast & the milk would go all over the place, including my clothes! This frother would make a great gift. I gave my old one to my daughter... now she's coming over this week, and she's going to want my new one. ;-)
