Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli




Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli lives up to its title.  The author explains the foundations of modern physics, doing so gently and easily.  He essentially lays out the importance of modern physics, which is so much at odds with our perception of the world.

We live in a very complicated universe modeled by mathematics and abstraction.  For Rovelli, the challenge is explicating the complicated (and in many ways, inexplicable) both clearly and meaningfully.  He accomplishes this in these finely crafted essays.
