Title: a capable and ambitious explainer
Product review: Davies has managed a masterly survey of modern physical theory. He covers a lot of area, so the treatment of some topics is brief. Always the teacher, he props up concepts with good models and examples. Davies has, in this and other books, registered as one of the best explainers of quantum concepts. Superforce includes an engaging description of the importance of mathematics as the language of physics. It also explains why some slightly opaque terms such as `fields' and energy' are useful in explaining physics mathematically.
