The Evolution of Physics Review: Overall Brilliant - The book has three parts: classical physics, relativity, and quantum physics (there wasn't much particle physics or cosmology in 1938, after all). The classical treatment is an extended examination of Galilean invariance, and is both brilliant and nicely presented (without equations). The special relativity theory part explains the twin principles of inertial frames and the constancy of the speed of light. It is very nicely done, although it has to be mysterious for the reader when even the simplest algebra is off limits. The general relativity part is presented as the extension from inertial to arbitrary frames, from with gravity is introduced via the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass. I suspect this is mostly mysterious for the reader, but I'm not sure. The quantum section is the least successful. The authors center on particle energy discreteness, but do not really get into the strange and mysterious aspects of quantum mechanics. Nor do the explain spin, fermions, bosons, etc. Review: Physics for everyone! - Probably one of the best introduction books to physics that i've ever read. The book explains the theoretical problems that physicists had to face throughout history and their solutions. It really puts the emphasis on the philosophical aspect of physics and the thought process that comes with it, without getting in too much to the technical part. I would consider this book a must for physics students, or generally, to anyone who always wanted to understand physics but had problems with the math... As for me, I think that this book could have been perfect if it would explain a little also the mathematic aspect, but nevertheless it's a good read! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #189,306 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #66 in Research Reference Books #723 in Physics (Books) #9,726 in Education & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (253) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 1.1 x 8.25 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0671201565 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0671201562 | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | October 30, 1967 | | Publisher | Touchstone | ## Images ![The Evolution of Physics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-YNjDc0fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall Brilliant *by H***S on October 24, 2020* The book has three parts: classical physics, relativity, and quantum physics (there wasn't much particle physics or cosmology in 1938, after all).

Since grad school, I have privately questioned the cliche that "the questions are more important than the answers," which struck me as essentially nonsense. But Einstein's basic statement of this concept is so much more nuanced and sensible. Beyond page 92, I discovered a very readable and enjoyable book -- I only wish Hawkings was as transparent! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Evolution of Physics - Relativity: The Special And The General Theory - A Brief History of Time --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/4148281-the-evolution-of-physics](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/4148281-the-evolution-of-physics) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
