The Trouble with Gravity: Solving the Mystery Beneath Our Feet by Richard PanekMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
"Just over two hundred pages of main content here includes a solid fifty pages of comparative cosmology. This extended exposition leads into a breezy overview of mankind’s evolving perception of reality from antiquity to today. Gravity is certainly a dominant theme, but it is merely a clothesline to hang upon this chronological history pondering the nature of reality, from the myth maker to the Nobel laureate...."
(This is the second time I have been seriously disappointed with a Richard Panek book and I doubt I will give him another chance.)
