Elizabeth Leane's Reading Popular Physics is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the nature and implications of physics popularizations. Focusing particularly on five bestselling books-A Brief History of Time, The First Three Minutes, Chaos, Complexity, and The Dancing Wu Li Masters-Leane analyzes the textual strategies by which popularizers of science influence the public. Her book offers readers a fresh perspective on this highly visible and influential genre.
