Advantages: Solid physics

Disadvantages: Hard reading

This book has probably one of the lowest 'Read' to 'Own' ratios of any modern tome, and having read it I'm not really surprised. It markets itself as 'popular science', open to anyone, but I found it impossible going despite an A-level in physics. It's not that there's a huge amount in 'A Brief History' that's really difficult science, simply that the density means you have a headache after every couple of pages.
It's a well-meant book, but there are many better (and less hyped' popular science books on the market. Choose one of them instead.
