I'd heard good things about Greene's other book, The Elegant Universe, so I checked out the audiobook from Scribd. Not the best idea, for two reasons. First, the audiobook is highly abridged, six hours to cover 500 pages, and the hardcover (thank you library) includes lots of helpful illustrations.

Greene gets the standard "how did we get here" part out of the way first. Through Newton, Leibniz, Mach, and Einstein, he shows how our concept of space, time, and now spacetime has changed to accommodate new discoveries. That's not to say that Newton was wrong and Einstein right. Newton's models worked perfectly well for the kinds of things that we knew about in the 17th century.
