rolantis 's review for:
Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe
by Simon Singh
Bloody love this book. Simon Singh manages to explain physical phenomena comprehensively without getting you lost in the technical details. My favorite thing about this book, though, is the structure which it is written in. Singh wrote the book in a (mostly) historically chronological structure which both tells a story and teaches you about scientific developments. It also helps that as time passes, ideas are built upon past ideas, so it's almost as though you are constructing science slowly. Singh does not make it boring at all. You don't even need any background experience in physics; I read this twice, once in seventh grade and another in eighth.
Definitely worth the read, get it!
