For a harder read, you will need to go back to Richard Feynman’s Caltech
Lectures on Gravitation. You will need a sound understanding of theoretical
physics to get the most from this collection, but as Kip Thorne and colleague
say in their introduction to the new edition: “There is much . . . that will be
valued by physicists, students, historians, and admirers of Feynman. Moreover,
the lectures are fun. Many passages offer a glimpse of a great mind approaching
deep and challenging questions from an original perspective.” Published by
Penguin, £18.99, ISBN 0140284508.
