"E=mc2"- David Bodanis

This author is just amazing, he explains the complex things related to the worlds most famous eqation in simple words. He is just too engaging in his style.
He starts off with Einstein coining the eqation, then the implications that the eqations meant to the world. The history behind the Atom bomb, the way the Germans intenstions were broken down just by a few brave youth, the way this changed the course of the World War.
He carries on the implications of the great equations in simple terms and attempts explaining the relevance to the universe and things like it.
A very well written book not just for the techies but aslo for the common man, almost minimal num of equations being mentioned in the book. Very well written.
This book in a must read for all those who want to know something about this famous equation... this is both for techies and not so techie people alike. Just go ahead and read it.
