Query: Don't bother with this mess...

As a physics buff I had high hopes for this book. The subject has always fascinated me. Sadly this book is a mess. The author has no ability to communicate clearly. This book is more of an historical account than anything else. Who cares where a scientist is born and how he grew up. There are numerious un-explained cryptic diagrams. When the author does explain an experiment it's a confused jumble. Don't let the intrigue of this subject trap you into reading this very poorly written book.You will end up more confused and frustrated then enlightened.
