Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

Billed as being accessible physics concepts for the non-expert, the book breaks down some of the keystones of modern physics into neat little “lessons”, making it easy to pick up and put down after each one if you need a moment to mull each lesson over. Admittedly, it does seem to fall down a little in the aim of making complex theories available to ‘the masses', as some of the threads are hard to follow if you are a non-expert.

Despite that, I found it to be a brilliant book as a cursory peek behind the curtain and, for some, a glance may be enough. For others, I suspect, this will leave you yearning for more substantial works.
