A distinguished physicist and teacher, George Gamow also possessed
a special gift for explaining the intricacies of science. Here he
takes an enlightening look at three scientists whose work unlocked
many of the mysteries behind the laws of physics: Galileo, the
first to examine closely 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. Most of the book is focused on Newton's
ideas, with a concluding chapter on post-Einsteinian speculations
concerning the relationship between gravity and other physical
phenomena. This remarkably reader-friendly volume is graced with
the author's own drawings, both technical and fanciful.
