The legendary Isaac Asimov starts what is perhaps the finest of all his books with a simple query: How finely can a piece of matter be divided? But like many simple questions, this one leads readers on a far-flung quest for a final answer, a search that encompasses such fascinating phenomena as light and electricity and their components--strange but real bits of matter that challenge our assumptions about the very nature of time and space. 40 illustrations.

Not many teachers can write a book which remains exciting from the start to finish by its clarity of expression. Asimov always keeps the reader able to understand any point he is making or explaining. I don't think there are many writers who do that so well. - He is the best science writer that there has been. This book is true to that.
