Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
By Carlo Rovelli
Translated by Erica Segre, Translated by Simon Carnell
Harry Hartog's review
Startling and brilliant. Rovelli condenses vast, immeasurable concepts that require years of study and learning into a few short chapters that somehow, impossibly, contain the same breadth and magnitude that they deserve. So fun and joyful to read. I devoured it. It lit up the seven-year-old in me who would stay up too long into the night to read books on astronomy - and here I was thinking she’d been lost to me! P.S. The train ride home is a perfect place to read this. - Malsha, Harry Hartog Macquarie
Description
The enchanting international bestselling sensation on modern physics comes to paperback
In this mind-bending introduction to modern physics, Carlo Rovelli explains Einstein's theory of general relativity, quantum mechanics, black holes, the complex architecture of the universe, elementary particles, gravity, and the nature of the mind. Not since Richard Feynman's celebrated best-seller Six Easy Pieces has physics been so vividly, intelligently and delightfully revealed.
