The book by Holton and Brush, Introduction to the Concepts and Theories of Physical Science, served as the main textbook for teaching Physics in the Harvard Project Physics Course.

Since its first publication in 1952, it has undergone numerous editions and revisions until 1985, when it took its final form upon which the Greek edition is based.

This edition innovates by incorporating the Teaching Utilization Guide, which is aimed specifically at prospective and active teachers of the physical sciences, providing a teaching example for Physics based on its history.

Its timeless originality lies in its combination of teaching Physics with answers to the questions of what Physics is, what its method is, and how it is historically formed as a science.
