An old man's toy : gravity at work and play in Einstein's universe by A. Zee - New York : Macmillan Publishing Company, 1989. - xxxii, 272 p. : ill. 24 cm.
Includes index.
"Physics was born of Isaac Newton's thoughts on gravity, from his legendary apple to the stone whirled on a string that helped him gauge the force that keeps the moon in orbit. Albert Einstein launched the next great wave of thinking about gravity when he posited that a falling man could not feel his own weight-the basis of his 'equivalence principle.' The author outlines the conception of the universe that followed from Einstein's insight."
