Asimov's Guide to Science by Asimov, Isaac - 1972

New York: Basic Books, 1972 Hardcover. This is a clean, fresh and tight book. An increasingly uncommon book in collector's condition. Unclipped. I have a personal small "library" of scientific books. This book has to be, by far, the most well structured, well explained, systematic and exhilarating read. I would rate this book as number 1 among possibly 50 similar books that I have read. If you are technically enthusiastic, would like to know about anything and everything pertaining to science and have a jolly good read at that, I would highly recommend this book. Asimov is gifted as a writer, in that he takes the most complex concepts and explains it in such a way, that a first-time reader on the subject feels confident of his/her understanding. If you have lots of time (it's a big book!), are a thinker and want to begin to understand the great works of genii ranging from Archimedes, Galileo, Newton and Einstein, this book is for you!
