Why Does E=mc²? by Brian Cox

3.0

I want to clarify that this is a brilliant science book and explains special relativity well. My qualm with it, is that it is written without assuming any mathematical knowledge and this means that there are sections that could be far more concise than they are by using equations. This is a hard balance to strike and I don't think it was quite right for this topic. While I understand that the point was to teach people, who aren't overly scientific, about a hard physics theory I think it could've been helped by a more mathematical style.
