The Universal Force: Gravity - Creator
of Worlds does a pretty good job of talking about gravity, its interpretations
over time, the different ways it has been modeled, and which minds were
responsible for the various theories advancement.
Essentially the book goes through the various understandings
of gravity from the Ancient Greeks through Einstein resulting in our current
understanding and each evolution thereof. The book is at its best when doing
so. Further it conveys how the current physicist of that time was either
crafting this into a more functional theory or how they were competing with what
became the prevailing theory. This context in fantastic and I really enjoyed
it.
If you are interested in the history and the subject matter
it is a worthwhile read.
