I First read this book in 1980 or there abouts. I have been an Asimov fan since high school (early 60's - you do the math!) and picked it up on a whim as I was a fan of his science fiction. I rapidly became a fan of his non fiction as well including his Guide to the Bible and Understanding Physics. Asimov writes clearly so that even the most science averse (me for example) person can understand and grasp the fundimentals. A book well worth the effort, the price and a treasure to be had.
