"The Universal Force conveys the excitement of science and nature's
mysteries. It describes gravitation as seen by examining the
achievements of those great scientists who have struggled with the
seemingly simple facts and managed to extract some truth about the
nature of gravity, its origins, and its effects.
Gravity is intimately tied up with motion, and therefore with time
and space, and is responsible for planetary systems, the evolution of
stars and the existence of black holes and the very beginning of the
Universe. It is the universal force, and to look at gravity is to
look at the deepest aspects of nature."--BOOK JACKET.
