Gravity: a very short introduction, by T. Clifton

However, the flaws emerge from the literary construct, which I will discuss here. Firstly, there is too much exposition dump in the first two chapters, where Steane starts the discourse on mathematics right from the fourth page, and equations of motions subsequently, all of which have no inkling of any relation to relativity at that juncture. In fact, we have only started learning about the importance of relativity in the mystery of the muon showers, which ideally should be the first chapter in order to give a vivid first impression of the subject! Next, there are too many technical jargons which are presented before the context is given. This is usually the correct way to write a textbook, that is to provide the proper tools and language to approach a subject. However, in a popular science book, it would be more effective to engage the reader with a familiar problem or situation before giving them the tools to discuss and solve the problem. Finally, while Steane gives us lots of visual aids through figures and diagrams, some of them – especially the space–time diagrams – would be easier to follow if there is a clear depiction of the construction process (which is why some professors prefer transparency slides over PowerPoint, and why RSA animation videos are so engaging). It is always a tough endeavour to persuade and engage the general public in science. In Steane’s own admission at the preface, the book has an intermediate accessibility for bright pre-university students. However, I believe that there is no hard limitations if skilful persuasion techniques were employed, and Steane would eventually perfect his wordcraft and expand his target audience in the subsequent revisions of the book.
