Gravity by Brian Clegg
How did we come to understand the force that binds the universe together? In Gravity, Brian Clegg offers a succinct history of gravity from the perspectives of great thinkers including Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Einstein and today’s leading scientists. He explores theories of general relativity, quantum mechanics and our attempts to link the two, as well as time travel, black holes, string theory and why gravity only works at the speed of light. Gravity is anything but simple, but Brian Clegg has written the most accessible book yet on the subject - the perfect introduction to a complicated theory.'Clegg's skills never flag, and his account remains lucid and free of jargon, bad jokes, and math phobia' Kirkus Reviews
'With this book in hand, we have all we need to set off on our next flight with our eyes open to the sheer wonder of what is involved' Alain de Botton, Inflight Science
Brian Clegg is the author of How to Build Your Own Time Machine. He holds a physics degree from the University of Cambridge and has written regular columns, features and reviews for numerous magazines. He lives in Wiltshire, England, with his wife and two children.
