Review
A dark horse, only in that one might not expect a book by Einstein to be a sales possibility for the layman. And that is what this is. It is ideal for the layman,and he needs little or no previous knowledge of the subject if he is willing to give the successive pages of the volume his careful attention. There is no necessity of struggling with mathematical equations, though - because of the subject - there may be a few battles with comprehension. It would be presumption to evaluate the book's accuracy and authority. Sufficient to say that the text advances so logically from step to step that the beauty and simplicity of the reasoning carry one along. It is more than a history of physics. It is an exposition of scientific methods of thinking. From the subject of motion (treated with an analogy to a detective story), it goes on to the study of heat, thence to a consideration of matter, then to the field of magnetism and electricity and the nature of light and color. From there relativity is the obvious next step, the high spot of the book. Next an investigation of matter, and brief touching on other suggested problems, it ends with a short section on the relationship of physics and reality. Taken as a whole, the book offers some of the most difficult ideas in modern science with the background to make it comprehensible. A book for the James and Eddington market - and more.

读后感
本书预设读者对物理学史有一定的了解，内容剪裁之精，对相对论和量子力学的定律也着墨不多，一切围绕物理学观念的进化：从伽利略对运动和惯性的研究始，机械观建构了人们对现象世界的认识，直到它在解释电磁力和光波遭遇困难，遂引入了场的概念。这一强大工具会逐步取代传统的...

评分科学家读自然之书必须由他自己来寻找答案，他不能像某些无耐性的读者在读侦探小说时所常做的那样，翻到书末先去看最后的结局。在这里，他既是读者，又是侦探，他得找寻和解释（哪怕是部分地）各个事件之间的联系。即使是为了得到这个问题部分的解决，科学家也必须搜集漫无秩序...

评分然而作者本人都死在了革命中，与其思考历史和思维方式不如思考自然本身。没有意义的书。
