Asimov's science fiction novels have long been favorites of mine--imaginative and well-written hard science with believable characters are not easy to come by. So I picked up this book to see what he had to say in the non-fiction line.
For my personal comment on SUBATOMIC MONSTER, I can't really do any better than the comments that Publishers Weekly made: 'Lucidly and entertainingly, Asimov expounds on physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology and technology. Readers will be charmed.'
From back cover: In this fascinating collection, Isaac Asimov shows you an incredibly powerful particle that has been zooming around since the creation of the universe... explains what the theory of relativity really means and how it HAS been proven... outlines the most astonishing new satellite discoveries... takes you through the mysterious chambers of the human heart... and into the world of the red sun.
Here are seventeen enjoyable and illuminating journeys to the furthest reaches of science.
