Overview
A distinguished physicist takes an enlightening look at three scientists whose work unlocked many mysteries: Galileo, the first to examine the process of free and restricted fall; Newton, originator of a universal force; and Einstein, who proposed that gravity is no more than the curvature of the four-dimensional space-time continuum.Synopsis
A new preface introduces Gamow as a US scientist (d. 1968) from the Soviet Union. With diagrams and a bit of calculus and irreverence, he explains Newton's and Einstein's theories of gravity to general audiences. Originally published by Anchor Books. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
