The Story of Physics

The author of the story of a science must be guided by the constraints and demands imposed on him by the definition of "science" itself. A science is more than a body of knowledge expounded in original papers and collected in books; it is the active pursuit of this knowledge by a dedicated group of people ( scientists) who are devoted to this '' great adventure'' by an inner drive that they cannot deny.

"Dr. Gamow, physicist and gifted writer, has sketched an intriguing portrait of the scientists and clashing ideas that made the quantum revolution." — Christian Science Monitor

For readers of Bill Bryson, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Siddhartha Mukherjee, a wondrous, wildly ambitious, and vastly entertaining work of popular science that tells the awe-inspiring story of the elements that make up the human body, and how these building blocks of life travelled billions of miles and across billions of years to make us who we are.
