Summary: Excellent; Brings the characters to life!
Review: The authors have done a great job with this book. Apart from explaining some of the Physical principles in "lay speak", they have also succeeded in conveying a deep sense of the human characters involved. The triumphs, the tribulations, the friendships and the intellectual rivalries - they are all here!

A delightful read - highly recommended to ALL with an interest in Science and DEFINATELY for those who wish to pursue the study of Physics.
