Title: occasionally interesting, but poorly written and dumbed-down
Product review: I had to read this book for the first part of Phys 1b, as did the other reader below. It goes into more depth about the paradoxes, etc., than most books for the general audience, but the book is also dumbed down, includes strange and confusing metaphors, and says in 10 or 20 pages what could have been said in a paragraph. I have less Physics background than most other people in my class, so some of the material was new and interesting, but even so, the book was poorly written and rather condescending. That damn, smug b---d of a talking bird!
