paperback_moon's review against another edition

informative inspiring reflective relaxing fast-paced

4.0

I loved reading such a detailed history focused on a mundane object we take for granted. I especially enjoyed the drama between well-respected physicists we learn about even in school.
I did find the book a little repetitive at times, and perhaps a little unforgiving to some real historical figures.
