About the Author
Gary F. Moring has taught physics to non-physics students at the University of Phoenix since 1985, as well as courses in philosophy, religion, and mathematics. He received his M.A. from JFK University and his B.A. from the University of Wisconsin. He is now pursuing his Ph.D. in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness.
From Scientific American
While the complete idiot may think that Einstein = relativity, Moring goes back as far as the ancient Greeks to set a solid stage for Einstein's myriad accomplishments in fields ranging from physics to philosophy. The book's explanations are complete enough to both satisfy the reader and pacify the scientist, and the cheeky writing style is amusing without being annoying.
