About book ¿Por Qué E=mc2? ¿Y Por Qué Debería Importarnos? (2009)

The information in this book was incredible. The delivery sometimes made it more difficult than necessary. I don't believe that every book should have to be "beginner" level, but if you're going to claim that anyone can read it, maybe spend a little extra time working out some good analogies to explain simple concepts or give explanations that don't always require advanced math to grasp. I think I understood the majority of the book, but there were some sections I had to read multiple times to understand, then once I did, could easily think of better ways to explain it myself. Aside from that, I think this is a great read for someone really interested in physics. Einstein's theories are controversial, as many people today forget that they are theories and take them as facts, although there is no rational proof for them. This book tries to explain the space-time theory. It explains the basic assumptions, provides a few calculations as evidence, then takes a leap into assuming that this is all proven. It does not address any counter theories or the apparent intuitiveness of the theory, or even the geometry used to demonstrate it. That said, its a good book for getting into the mind of the modern day physicists, who blindly follow other's beliefs just as much as many religious people today do. Science: the new Western religion.

Too much maths for me! Bryson explains it much better in A Short History of Nearly Everything
