### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A magnificent edition / Un Edición Magnífico
*by N***A on 9 March 2015*

A perfect option for a gift. The narration is extremely easy to follow, the illustrations help a lot to understand the physical concepts described. A slightly bit outdated, yes, but on everything in physics up to 20th century is extremely accurate. Una opción perfecta para un regalo. La narración es muy fácil de seguir, las ilustraciones ayudan mucho a entender los conceptos físicos descritos. Un poco poco anticuado, sí, pero sobre todo en la física hasta siglo 20 es extremadamente precisa.
