Chown peppers the text with interesting tidbits of information. A very readable and well done book with extensive Notes and suggested reading at the end of most of the chapters. Buy it and enjoy.I just wanted to add one thing (11/28/17) about Newton's three laws of motion, which Chown discusses:If you actually what to learn some of Newton's laws, buy "Instant Physics," (1995), by Tony Rothman, Ph.D. For example, in 30-Second Newton, his laws of motion are rather lengthly sentences.In "Instant Physics" Rothman presents them in short, single, sentences:1. Law of Inertia: "An object travels at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside force," ("The first law addresses the motion of free bodies ...") (from "Space-Time, Relativity, and Cosmology," (2006), by Jose Wudka, page 122, which see):2. F=ma: "The force acting on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and acceleration," ("the second law states quantitatively how a motion deviates from free motion"):3. "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction," ("the third law states the effect experienced by a body when exerting a force on another object.") ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A book well written with strong competence. *by E***I on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018* An important book, because it can allow to consider by a new point of view the Einstein positions. Particularly the idea of time is seen in relation to Greek sense of term, returning often to the old concept respect the relativity revolution. The Einstein theorem which remains most relevant of the actual condition of physicsis is the correlation between the tensor of Ricci and the curvature of the space. So the gravity can be seen as the change of the situation in a field. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Easily Accessible and Informative *by M***G on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2021* 5 ⭐️s!A mind-blowing look at how our understanding of the universe continues to change drastically by leaps and bounds. The last two chapters, where it gets into quantum and string theory, I admit I will have to reread to fully absorb, but that’s a fault on my end, not the author. Chown communicates scientific ideas in a way any layman can understand, even quoting famous rockstars and the great Douglas Adams to help illustrate his points. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/95865983-the-ascent-of-gravity-the-quest-to-understand-the-force](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/95865983-the-ascent-of-gravity-the-quest-to-understand-the-force) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
