It is amazing how a book written in such simple style, with almost no equations, can give such a deep insight about Physics. Instead of starting from some well established equations and move on to their applications, like almost every other book of Physics, Rothman starts by describing some basic observations and experiments and proceeds to deduce the basic laws of nature. This book teaches us how we know what we know. I would strongly recommend it to every student of Physics, and everyone interested in natural Philosophy.
