The one physics book you finish
Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
BOOK
Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
Carlo Rovelli
A working physicist explains relativity, quantum mechanics, the structure of the cosmos, particles, quantum gravity, black holes and ourselves, in that order, in under a hundred pages, and you finish it. Nothing is dumbed down; things are simply said once, well, and then the chapter ends. It is the book to read before the fat ones, so that the fat ones have somewhere to land.
Read the first lesson, on general relativity, on its own. If the last page of it does not get you, the rest will not either.
96 pages
If you already know the physics, there is nothing new here except the prose, which may be enough.
