Don't leave home without this. A total page-turner I can't put down. Only problem is turning to too many pages at once. Also, some might say there are no characters to this but I disagree - there were quite a few. Maxwell, Einstein, Tesla, Henry, Bolzmann, etc., etc; Not much plot. Whenever I read a page I have to read 3 others to round out the understanding - only problem is, for each of those 3 there are 3 others to read... ad infinitum.
