“A remarkable book. You have “galloped with light” very astutely and imaginatively! Besides being a thorough student of your subject, you are also a skilled pedagogue of it. I hope that you will continue to receive acknowledgments of the fine contribution made by your book.”

“By reading this book anyone can comprehend the immensity of Einstein’s concepts and implications. And not only that: it is read with gusto, and at the end one would like to start all over.”

“I’m impressed at your pedagogical capability to explain advanced physics with words almost only. An absolutely fascinating reading—a cultural odyssey through the roots of physics.”

“An introduction, intellectually accessible and literarily enchanting, to one of the principal components of the scaffold scientists have built for the current understanding of the Universe. Galloping with Light is an illuminating exception, and I hope readers enjoy it as much as I have.”

“Felix lays bare his biography throughout the book. Everywhere his hunger to understand the Theory of Relativity grows like a fire. Each chapter inspires your curiosity about things you know already—a delightful treat for the inquisitive mind.”

“This book is a jewel. I have enjoyed every single chapter. Great for understanding the universe and becoming familiar with those difficult subjects which remain unclear in our minds until someone like Felix Alba shows us how fascinating and fully enjoyable they are.”

“If this reviewer were teaching a course in physics at the college level, Mr. Alba-Juez’s book would be an absolute must on the course reading list.”

“An excellent pick that blends humor, common sense, and knowledge into one entertaining package. Highly recommended.”

“Just finished Galloping with Light and it seriously blew my mind. The author describes Einstein’s Theory of Relativity so well. I highly, highly recommend this book.”

“Reflecting on his own journey of intellectual understanding, Felix Alba-Juez expertly reveals and demystifies Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. By first constructing the etymological and epistemological foundations, a crafted and consolidated description is offered which both educates and delights.”

“Me di cuenta que el autor lo había escrito con un pincel: es una obra de arte. Digerir hasta comprender conceptos abstractos es un reto difícil y este libro lo logra con un estilo audaz. Lo recomiendo ampliamente y agradezco al autor por esta joya educativa.”

“Genial, muchas gracias. Lo recomiendo para cualquiera que quiera introducirse en el mundo de la relatividad. Se explican conceptos complejos de una forma sencilla pero rigurosa.”

“El autor está convencido de que se puede saber mucho pero comprender muy poco. Explica la Relatividad con una claridad asombrosa y en términos no científicos. Después de cuarenta años de docencia, el libro derrumbó parte del andamiaje de mis conocimientos y creó el desafío de reconstruirlos sobre una base más sólida.”

“A masterpiece which combines a solid knowledge of quantum theory with an honest attempt to make this body of knowledge available to the layperson. The metaphor of Don Quixote is superbly used to give clarity to the scientific point. A treasure trove that sheds pleasurable light into an otherwise arid field for the non-expert.”

“In an engaging narrative style Felix Alba-Juez equips the reader to comprehend classical and statistical thermodynamics, culminating in an appreciation of quantum discoveries and the wave-particle controversy. Technical descriptions are embellished with delightful anecdotes and historical dialogues.”

“An extremely enjoyable experience, a real page-turner, a high-quality thought-provoking book that kept me engaged throughout. Above all, I had real fun reading it. Very highly recommended—this is how good popular science books should be structured.”
