Universal Force - Girifalco, Louis (Professor of Materials Science, Professor of Materials Science, Department of Materials Science, University of Pennsylvania)

This book describes the growth of our understanding of gravity and the science on which it is based, from the early Greeks to Einstein's grand insights of curved space-time. Showing that science searches for the ultimate roots of natural phenomena and therefore pursues a kind of mysticism, the mysteries it unfolds are strange and enthralling.
