I have read a fair amount of books on physics and found this one to be very enjoyable. Gamow keeps things pretty simple (until the end when he starts talking about his specialty) and very accessible.

The book was published in the 60's, so there are many recent discoveries missing, but ...             One Two Three Infinity1 review George Gamow A MENTOR BOOK, 1953 Mind energizing This book set me on the road to becoming an engineer - ME, 1958.
