The Ascent of Gravity by Marcus Chown

Gravity, to steal the words of Winston Churchill, is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. And penetrating that enigma promises to answer the biggest questions in science: what is space? What is time? What is the universe? And where did it all come from Award-winning writer Marcus Chown takes us on an unforgettable journey from the recognition of the force of gravity in 1666 to the discovery of gravitational waves in 2015. And, as we stand on the brink of a seismic revolution in our worldview, he brings us up to speed on the greatest challenge ever to confront physics.
