“E=MC^2” A Biography of the World’s Most Famous Equation by David Bodanis

I have for many years been a casual but interested party to the science of our fundamental nature. I have read a few books by Hawking, most not past chapter 4 and a few others.

For anyone interested in this topic, this book is a great way to start the journey.

A Dickens character.......... having to suffer thru with mid-fi?

Just wrapping up "World War II: The Resistance" by C. David North. Written in a 'weird' fashion, so not a smooth read, but quite informative. Recommended for content if not for style.
