Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

Amazing book and easy to follow. I particularly liked the first chapter about Einstein's Theory in which he was originally trying to find the field of gravity, and then discovered that SPACE is it. The books simplicity is very suitable for beginners and readers who are fascinated by physics/ astrophysics but not necessarily have un educational foundation.

J'ai lu des tas de livres sur ce sujet, ai travaillé au CERN, et ce livre sort du lot par sa clarté exprimée en peu de mots et quelques figures. Je compte le recommander à mon entourage car c'est de loin l'exposé le plus facile à lire que j'ai lu sur ces sujets complexes. Chapeau bas à l'auteur, vraiment!! Je vais lire le reste de ses livres sans aucun doute! A lire absolument!

This book is a good reminder of Hawking's classic. Man's highest thought is not reserved for the few, that is what all good expression aims at. There is great simplicity with which modern physics is explained here. The scope of the text is phenomenal. Lessons start with the very basic, and with a gentle quickness, take the reader to the very advanced. Remarkably, no chapter extends beyond a few pages. The whole book is a short scientific saga of eighty pages! "Around the Universe in Eighty Pages" could have another viable title for the book.I have a perception that physics is a way of thinking. The thought that deciphers the mysteries of a black hole is no different than the one that is at play in the day to day relationships. This unity often is clouded due to the precise terminology used by physicists. Tensors and integrals are not always the best way to express universal ideas. And herein comes the importance of Rovelli's books. He bypasses the scientific symbology and represents contemporary physics in a manner that even a fifth-grader can digest. It will be a great success if phrases like space-curvature, standard-model or quantum-gravity become comprehensible to most of us.The design of the book gets full marks. Penguin books have done an outstanding job in the overall presentation of the book. As I already mentioned, it is a short book of 80 pages, and that makes it a perfect companion for a couple hours indulgence into the tale of Universe.

La capacità dello scrittore di coinvolgere il lettore in un tema difficile quale può essere la fisica e riflettere sul senso della vita

Beautifully written, easy flow interweaving description, story of original thinker, broad context in which ideas emerge. Inspired the love of science and human beings who explored and discovered and articulated complex understandings in a simple way I could 'grt'
