I always lamented not taking physics (though I did take kinesiology) so I thought this book would give me the basics. It wasn't what I expected but it did offer a (sort of) layman's look at physics on a grand scope. I expected to learn about gravity, energy, force, levers, torque, magnetism and the like. The topics addressed were much larger than that: the cosmos and its components. I read it in bed just before turning out the light at night. I cannot recommend that timing. This book demands focus and real thought about amazing topics. I tackled a 10-page chapter a night and that was enough to put me out!
