Title: A Nobel-Prize Winner Wrote This?
Review: I'd never have guessed. It was too short and slapdash to be all that useful. I don't really know what one was supposed to get out of it. If I had no formal physics training and this was all I read I don't think I'd be all that informed. The major concepts the book covers have been covered better elsewhere. As for modern physics, there are better ways to learn (Physics for the Rest of Us, Schroedinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality, Quantum: A Guide for the Perplexed, even the book Einstein himself wrote as a primer for relativity--while flawed--was decent). As for the classical stuff, there are simply too many primers better than this to really list.
