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.

Product Description
Clear and concise explanations of the development of theories explaining physical phenomena.
这几天读了爱因斯坦与英费尔德（LeopoldInfeld）合著的《物理学的进化（TheRevolution of Physics）》一书。老爱在科学界高山仰止，写一本薄薄的科普书（据说还是为了帮因费尔德赚点外快）也同样是杰作。两位科学家对物理学定律的细节着墨不多，更多的是在叙述科学家的思维方式...

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。

爱因斯坦讲物理学发展，用了最直白的语言，没有公式，反而激发阅读《相对论》的兴趣。从机械力学时代，到惯性坐标系和非惯性坐标系，最后谈及概率波。真是一顿愉悦的物理学之旅。
