Why Does E=mc2? by Brian Cox, Jeff Forshaw (2009, Hardcover)

These authors have gone a step beyond the many books I have read covering modern physics in that they have taken extra time and have also used some great analogies to explain some of the things in physics that I have never really grasped such as the twin paradox as defined by relativity. For those readers who have gotten a glimpse of some of the wonder of relativity and quantum mechanics in describing the real world that lies under the surface of the everyday world we live in, this book has for me hit a home run in making these concepts understandable. I would encourage any interested reader to at least skim through this book at their local mega bookstore, but I wanted to make it a permanent part of my library for handy reference as I try again to delve into my library of physics textbooks.
