    Asimov never ceases to amaze, delight, and inspire

    I've only started reading this book, so this is only based on having read the first 15%-or-so. I'm reviewing it now because I'm concerned there may be some kind of time limit on how long I can post a review after the purchase date and that limit may be exceeded by the time I finish fully reading the book. This book is absolutely fantastic, as anyone who is familiar with Asimov's writing would expect. The content is absolutely top-notch. Concepts are explained, elucidated, and elaborated upon in Asimov's signature, highly-accessible style. He has an incredible knack for knowing exactly when and to what degree to provide examples to fully illuminate a concept that may otherwise remain opaque. He starts at a very base level, building up a solid understanding of the subject at every step ...

    Asimov's lesser known work?

    Think about this: a bio-chemist writing a classic textbook in physics? Asimov had that level of breadth (and depth)! Admittedly not a mainstream textbook these days (or any days?) but my physics teacher was somewhat of a Sci-Fi buff so he devoured everything Asimov. I'd still urge fans of science to read this book.
