Deep Sky Companions: The Messier Objects
While interesting and informative, it lacked a certain inspirational quality which I was kind of hoping for.
However, I was pleasantly surprised that the scientific explanations were written in such a way that I, knowing next to nothing about science, was able to understand most of what was going on.
I was annoyed, intrigued, frustrated and impressed by Einstein all throughout the reading of this book. The author paints him as a human, flaws and all, standing up for what he believed. Which I guess is kind of inspirational after all.
