Title: Confusing the beginner, dissapointing the specialist
Review: I would like to know in person Julian Barbour. His narrative is very good, and he definetively motivates the interested reader. However, my impression is that he took good care of the first chapters of "The end of time", whereas the last part of the book dedicated to quantum gravity and DeWitt equation was written quite fast and without care.The beginner get confused. And if you are a physicist, or engineer with some knowledge of modern physics, you cannot grasp the essence. It is too qualitative.It would be interesting if any of these guys that claim to understand relativity and field theory target a book to a regular exact science professional.Nevertheless, I recommend the book to the reader interested in physics; it is motivating.
