BOOK REVIEW: E=MC˛: A BIOGRAPHY OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS EQUATION (2001) * * * (3 stars out of 4).
External link:
This is a really fun and accessible book. It's sort of two books in one. First, it's a history of the various pieces of the equations and the science that led up to it as well as the people involved. Second, it's a history of the development of the atom bomb, and the people involved in that. It's engaging and easy to understand and, I think, genuinely educational.
This is The Official Record.
