It's About Time (that's a pun)

His book is more than a history of science; it is a tour de force in the genre ... With polymathic zest, Galison explains the century-old but still confusing special theory of relativity through the cultural history of technology.

Einstein's Clocks, the book I spent a summer researching for one of my advisors, is out, and boo-ya, it landed a rave review and the cover of the New York Times Sunday book section. (Free registration required to view site, I think.) Astonishingly, the reviewer does not mention the dedicated and strikingly handsome research assistants that made it all possible. Nevertheless, it is great buzz for a brilliant book.

Amazing how easily profs can write brilliant books when they have little armies of research flunkies.

Tell me all the parts you wrote and I'll throw out the rest. :)
