Book Name : How To Build A Time Machine
Author : Paul Davies
What is it about : The book details the history, science, peoples and theories involved in this fascinating subject. Many of the scientists and authors are given good coverage in what they had contributed; these include colorful and famous characters such as Albert Einstein, Issac Newton, and H.G. Wells. Many films which are based on the idea of time travel are also described and these include Back To The Future.
Some thoughts after having read the book : The design, tone and packaging of this book initially gives you the impression that all is a breeze in the land of time travel. But as we know "never judge a book by its cover" - gradually the reader gets the feeling that he is actually reading a very real physics book and the author does not just skirt around the subject but expects the reader to follow like a college student. So, the book can get a bit hard going at times.
Would I recommend this book to you : If you have a good and solid background already in this BIG subject and are not particularly daunted with the theories of quantum uncertainties, naked singularities, time warping and wormholes, then this can be a fascinating read.
