From the reviews:“This book explains gravitation for readers who do not necessarily have a strong mathematical background. Its scope goes well beyond ordinary popular science accounts. Besides the science, it also gives insights into historical and personal perspectives. It contains many very helpful illustrations and diagrams. … For the unknowledgeable reader, this provides interesting insights into the mechanisms of scientific discovery as they are confronted with current disputes and diverging viewpoints.” (Carla Cederbaum, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1262, 2013)
