Customer Reviews

as described

The book came in new condition, the only thing I didn't like about it was that there were 2 stickers on the book that did not peel off easily and left the cover messy.

Great book for the non-physicist. interested in Einstein.

I'd describe the book as part whimsy and part instructional. In my opinion, the author has done a masterful job of integrating hard science and factual data with fun characterizations and insight. Sure, you can read texts heavy with scientific data written in sometimes incomprehensible language, but for the "average joe", this novel is an entertaining jaunt with explanations that are clarifying in an easy way. Nice job Mr. Carriere.

Intereresting Approach to Einstein's Work

This is a very entertaining book with a very unique approach to discussing Einstein's work. Even if you are familar with his theories you will still enjoy the ride. If you are not familar this is a good place to begin.
