Review: Every one interested in Physics should read this book! - I had read the original both in paperback and on the kindle once it was released, I love the book! The way Gamow explains difficult concepts in such an illustrated way is excellent. I am a Physics teacher and wanted to read sections of the book to my class as an introduction to Special Relativity. I read various reviews, but final decided to purchases the more up-to-date version. I have to say it is very similar, but the author has done well in modernising the story without loosing its charm. All in all it's a must read for anyone interested or studying Physics. It is one of the greats! Excellent service as usual from desertcart, ordered it and it arrived the next day! And one final note - my A-Level Physicists are hooked!
Review: Fantastic physics book - As a physics student studying my A levels, I found this book extremely helpful. It allows the reader to understand difficult and advanced concepts in physics. Gamow uses his imagination to help us understand it for example 'what if speed of light was 30mph' and he then explores a world with such limitations and shows how special relativity works. There are many other concepts explored, like entropy, gravity, etc etc A great book for people interested in physics! Easy to understand and fun. Highly recommended
