Summary: The real essence of Teller
Comment: I came away from reading this book (and from occasionally meeting and working with Teller) convinced that the essence of the man was not the political animal familiar to the public, but rather someone driven by a wonderfully childlike curiosity about any and all aspects of science. You may feel that the world would have been better off without him, but read this book anyway. I'll bet you wind up agreeing with Bob Parks of the American Physical Society: "Physics will be less interesting without him."

Summary: A Great Teacher
Comment: This is a wonderful book that is very clearly written and joy to read and read again. Dr. Teller shows how some of the most
difficult ideas can be made clear by examples. I liked his
conversational style, it reads as if Dr. Teller is talking directly to you. This is one of the top books on physics with the general reader in mind. Some of the best books for the general reader were written by the greatest contributors in the field. Other selections by: Einstein, Max Born, Richard Feynman, do well for the general reader but requires a little more math, ... not hard math, simple but rich math full of motion, ... math you need to visualize.
Dr. Teller helps you visualize ideas, as good teachers do.
I was very happy to see this book back in print having barrowed the hard cover book from the library a number of times just to hear again how Dr. Teller said it; and to make clear again an idea that puzzled me. It is well worth reading and owning.
