Thoughts, notes, and other observations upon books presently being read.
Written after he completed the final version of his General Theory of Relativity, Dr. Einstein wrote Relativity as a book that would explain both his special and general theories of relativity to a wide-ranging, non-specialist audience. Quite simply, it was intended to be a popular book.
Recently I’ve been finding my attention more and more strongly drawn to the history of science. And like many sequential thinkers, each book I read about a particular topic in the past makes me curious to go farther back to learn what came before it. Thus I have recently taken up George Sarton’s “A History of Science; Ancient Science Through the Golden Age of Greece.”
