2.0 out of 5 starsOnly on physicists' life and almost none on their achievement!!!
By Wan Koon Yat on May 8, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Of course I understand that Ioan James's intention of writing this book is to give us a more " human " aspect about the physicists and not a work on the theory of physics. I fully agree. However he should at least state

at least very briefly about the achievement of the great physicist!! Take for an example, in describing Ampere, he does not even mention about the Ampere's law!!! I think at least in describing various physicists, he should at least state briefly about what contribution of those hysicists. Just on sentence about the equation of the laws would make this book far more interesting! Otherwise, just mention the date of birth, when the phyicist went to univerisity, when he married, when he died etc. I would ask, then what make this physicists worthy of a brief biography and separae them from just an ordinary people?????????????????

4.0 out of 5 starsbackground of famous physicists, not really geared around their technical achievements
By jonny chimpdoe on March 31, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The book does what the author intended, it covers the lives of the physicists not their most well known achievements. It was interesting because i was reading Einstein:His life and His Universe by Iscaacson at the same time and this book summarized fairly accurately the accounts described in Iscaason's full biography of Einstein. I gave it a 4 of 5 because it was a great textbook for my class but alas it did over summarize certain physicists of their only commonly known achievement (regarding the only other review at the time of writting)
