Review
“A startling and illustrative distillation of centuries of science.”—The Economist
“The man who makes physics sexy . . . the scientist they’re calling the next Stephen Hawking.” —The Times Magazine
“Lean, lucid and enchanting.”—New Scientist
“The essays in Seven Brief Lessons on Physics arrive like shots of espresso, which you can consume the way the Italians do, quickly and while standing up. As slim as a volume of poetry, Mr. Rovelli’s book also has that tantalizing quality that good books of poems have; it artfully hints at meanings beyond its immediate scope… [H]is book is a roll call of the scientists who have taken us so far, from Einstein and Niels Bohr through Werner Heisenberg and Stephen Hawking… The lessons in Mr. Rovelli’s book, as elegiac as they are incisive, do them justice.”—The New York Times
“Delightful. . . . The metaphors are vivid, the visions dramatic.”—Nature
