Brilliant! April 19, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book is a wonderful summary of the story of modern physics without using a single equation. The many new ideas that were introduced into physics in the 20th century are explained clearly with easy-to-follow diagrams and many analogies from everyday life. If you were always afraid that physics is way over your head this book is for you!
In addition to the physics the reader is also introduced to Einstein the man, they way he lived and the way he thought. Although some controversial points are smoothed over or skipped the reader still gets a good picture of the genius at work, his trials and tribulations and yes, his mistakes as well.
The book was written with lazy readers in mind. If you like to skip right to a specific chapter, the book is written with many repetitions of basic ideas and cross references to earlier sections where various ideas are explained, so you can start reading at any chapter.
An excellent book for the non-physicist.
