13 Journeys Through Space and Time: Christmas Lectures from the Royal Institution by Colin Stuart
3.0
The book describes some of the lectures given at the Royal Institution, a tradition beginning with Michael Faraday somewhere in the early 1800s and continuing almost annually every Christmas season. The lectures, given by eminent physicists and targeted to inspire a young audience with experiments and live demonstrations, must certainly have been thrilling.
One cannot say the same about the book. The science is barely explained and the focus seems to be in giving a flavor about the people who lectured and the atmosphere rather than the fascinating topics they covered. Very unsatisfactory.
