Reviews
Publishers WeeklyAczel, one of our best science popularizers...now recounts the triumphs and struggles of the French physicistLéon Foucault....Aczel's material is so intriguing..., Simon WinchesterAuthor of KrakatoaWith all the clarity and narrative brilliance that has become his hallmark, Amir Aczel now tells the extraordinary story of Léon Foucault, and manages to do so in a manner that is both seductively captivating and profoundly elucidatory. Of the legions of writers who try to render the complex comprehensible, Amir Aczel is the winner, by far.

Excellent seller -- good communication, item exactly as described, reasonably priced, well packed. Seller shipped immediately but the book took over half a month to arrive, due to the carrier used on the first leg, to get the package to USPS.
