Physics is a philosophical and scientific treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. It is one of the most influential works in the history of science and philosophy, and it covers a wide range of topics related to the natural world, including motion, causation, time, space, and the nature of matter.The book is divided into eight books, each of which explores a different aspect of the natural world. In the first book, Aristotle lays out his basic principles of physics, including his ideas about the nature of matter and the four causes of motion. In subsequent books, he examines topics such as the nature of time and space, the role of chance in the natural world, and the relationship between form and matter.Throughout the book, Aristotle emphasizes the importance of empirical observation and reasoning, and he argues that understanding the natural world requires a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. He also places a great deal of emphasis on the concept of causation, arguing that all natural phenomena can be explained in terms of their causes.Overall, Physics is a foundational work in the history of science and philosophy, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars today. It offers a rich and complex portrait of the natural world, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual world of ancient Greece.Again, does it follow that Being, if one, is motionless? Why should it not move, the whole of it within itself, as parts of it do which are unities, e.g. this water? Again, why is qualitative change impossible? But, further, Being cannot be one in form, though it may be in what it is made of. (Even some of the physicists hold it to be one in the latter way, though not in the former.) Man obviously differs from horse in form, and contraries from each other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

I bought this same company's edition of Aristotle's metaphysics and was not disappointed, so I wanted to dig a little deeper into the subject of Aristotle's philosophy with the physics with the translation by the same company. There you go.
