Summary: Excellent
Review: This book is obviously only geared towards those remotely interested in physics, so that's what it does: cater to the contemplative individual. Believe it or not, this collection of writings grabbed me from the first subtitle, 'Atoms in Motion', and literally propelled me through the next 800 pages of lectures and dissertations, ranging from Mr. Isaac Asimov to Albert Einstein. If you've been looking for a comprehensive and sometimes exhaustively extensive glimpse into the universe of physics and mathematics, Mr. Ferris' treasury will not disappoint. What's more, if you buy it here at Amazon, you definitely get every penny's worth. I mean, c'mon, 18 bucks? This sucker is hard-bound. Don't pass this one up.
