In a remarkably concise compass, Crowe presents, through actual examples, the fascinating story of how philosophers and scientists through the ages have tried to understand how things move. Included are substantial selections from the writings of Aristotle, Oresme, Descartes, Galileo, Huygens, Newton, and Einstein. The selections are furnished with extensive notes aimed at guiding nonspecialist readers through the texts. Introductory sections provide historical information that helps us understand and appreciate each chapter in the story, which Crowe aptly characterizes as the most remarkable story in all secular history. At the same time, Mechanics from Aristotle to Einstein is itself an intoduction to the foundations of mechanics. Examples and problems are provided to give a true hands on experience of these ideas and discoveries, which are fundamental to an understanding of both our physical universe and our civilization itself. Winner of the Choice Outstanding Academic Title award, 2009.

I picked up 'Mechanics: From Aristotle to Einstein' for my physics class, and it's been an eye-opener. The breakdown of complex ideas into comprehensible sections is really impressive. Each chapter feels like a well-crafted story.

Essential for aspiring physicists
This book is a must-have for anyone interested in physics. It connects the dots between different eras and theories beautifully. I bought a copy for my cousin who's studying physics; I know it’ll spark his interest!

A bit dry in parts
I was eager to read about Einstein, but some sections felt a bit too academic for my taste. It covers a lot of ground, but I struggled to stay engaged at times. Not bad, just not my favorite style.

Solid, but not what I expected
I thought this book would delve deeper into modern applications of mechanics. While it's a great read, it focuses more on historical figures. Still a good resource as a reference book.

Great for history buffs
As someone who's into both science and history, this book hit the sweet spot for me. It's detailed but still easy to follow. I loved the insights into how our understanding of mechanics evolved over time.
