• An animated discussion of gravity for the lay person that is also a history of physics.
• Received excellent review attention and Zee has a strong reputation.
• The book conveys the excitement of some of the latest developments in physics and includes a new Afterword to bring the subject even further up to date.

Readership: A general audience; those interested in popular physics and students on physics courses.
