Review: Pulp Physics: Astronomy: Humankind in Space and Time
Pulp Physics: Astronomy: Humankind in Space and Time by Richard Berendzen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a great, warm and encomapssing delivery about the history of physics from Greek thought to Galileo, and Newton to Einstein. Then, we get the astronomy from ancient astrology to the possiblity of wormholes and interstellar communication in future millenia. The author never talks down to the listener and no more than a high school education is required to understand what is delivered by this avuncular and erudite teacher.
