Title: Well written, but outdated
Review: I bought this book to give to a younger relative, but upon reading it, I decided not to. Gamow is a good author. The book has many fun math and physics concepts, which are for the most part well-explained. The problem is that this book hasn't been updated in 50 years.Among the outdated statements in the book, you will find:- Refers to Fermat's last theorem as "unsolved"- Talks about the undiscovered negative proton (aka antiproton)- Lacks any mention of DNA in the biology section- Incorrectly identifies N-C-O cycle of nuclear fusion as the primary energy source in the SunTaken alone, that doesn't seem so bad, but hose are just the ones that stand out in my head after reading this. I recall cringing somewhat often as I read this book and encountered another superseded theory.
